Could you please rebase your patch on top of current state of Linus'
kernel tree for 2.6.28-rc? Then the code could be reviewed and I'll merge
it through my tree.
For inspiration, you can look into

	drivers/hid/hid-pl.c

That driver even contains support for some Greenasia device ... (0x0003).
I have rewriten the code for 2.6.28-rc6 and after testing and checking 
it with checkpatch I will send it again.
Great, thanks.
Anyway I know that pantherlord code is also supporting greenasia devices 
(first code was also mostly taken from that) - and I'm still don't know 
if I'm dooing right naming my part "greenasia" - because some people 
could get confused. It could also happen that someone else will 
implement other greenasia device and this will make another confusion.
The question is how much the protocol that is used by your device differs 
from the one that is already implemented in hid-pl.c? Would it make sense 
to have these two implementations in the same driver, or is the protocol 
just completely different?
ps. Do I need to ask Manta and SpeedLink for permission of using they 
company and product names in descriptions ?
I seriously hope you don't have to, we will all be violating this all the 
time. But I am not a lawyer, of course :)

Thanks,
