Heh heh.  How do you think stuff like this _gets_ documented?  Someone
like you finds that its not doc'd, gets really annoyed, then submits
his diffs to the handbook or FAQ in order to prevent others from
having to go through the same learning process - without that level
of general annoyance, it's unlikely that anyone else will document it. :-)

Once you have your driver out of the way, maybe you want to send me
those diffs?  I'll be happy to review the english if you have any
worries about that.

Look at another man page. :-)

I'll let the device driver folks answer your other questions since
I'm not all that sure.
