Hi all,

Is anybody actively developing this driver?

I've been debugging it for the last day or two and am now at the point 
where it's pretty stable for me (at least, I no longer get deadlocks and 
the issue of the firmware getting confused seems resolved).  I have a load 
of other changes I intend to make, and a few bits which would be nice to 
merge in from the OpenBSD driver, but obviously I don't want to continue 
doing this if somebody else has done any work on it.

If nobody has, then I'm happy to take up the job of centrally 
co-ordinating patches, with a view to getting the driver to the point 
where it could be merged into the main FreeBSD tree.  I'm already keeping 
my changes in my local CVS repo...

Gavin
