You can just send me patches with the new device ids, in the format described in Documentation/SubmittingPatches, and that will get the new devices supported properly. I also have a few questions as to the speed of the current driver (it sucks). I have a patch that was posted to the linux-usb-devel mailing list to improve this, but it's only working for about half of the users. Are there differences with the different airprime devices that we should be aware of? Anything else that you feel that would help make the driver better would be greatly appreciated. thanks, greg k-h
