BTW. 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 ;-)

Doh ! I've been in "contact" with that driver in a previous life... it's
a whole bunch of horrid C++ with windows wrappers all over... or did
they improve it ? It's still an ST chip ?
