Been there, done that.  The only code they will hand out is the custom

Bummer.
 

But I would be happy if somebody would prove me wrong - I think the semi
makers should provide Linux drivers available on their website.  I know
AMD has a bunch of drivers for their embedded chips on theirs.

Actually, I'd rather see the code in the mainline tree where it can
be maintained. Stuff on vendor sites tends to mold.
 

Any Linux code, at this point anyways, has to be gotten from somebody
other than AMCC. However, I will be speaking to their director of
software engineering tommorrow, about all these Linux issues. Maybe
things will change. 

Sounds good.
