What is this evil^H^H^H^Hbinary driver you are talking about ? Yes, blobs are evil, but a binary driver is still better than no driver at all... I'm working on the unicorn driver for the BeWan ADSL PCI card -- the card manufacturer does not seem willing to provide the relevant info (I'm not really aware of the specifics -- Sven Luther will probably know more about this). Besides, much of the functionality of the card is implemented in software, so a 100% open-source driver would probably require a lot of work. Last but not least I wanted to dig a bit into binary formats anyway ;-) Simon
