Hi to all of those who have subscribed already.
The biggest pain in this driver is in providing card specific support.
Atombios is not overly helpful on this, so we will have to work around things through our own device + subsystem ids specific table.
I will now start working on a small tool that can dump the relevant information, and which will allow us to fill up this table so that everybody's hardware will, in the end, be supported.
This is actually a pretty lame mail of mine... as there is no code that's been written to this extent yet (although i can choose and pick from scraps left and right and throw something together quickly), but this mail is here to tell everybody to hang on for a bit longer, help is on its way.

Hi, Just a heads up... utils/conntest/ is a program to help us create the card specific data we need for our driver. If your hardware isn't supported yet, and there is a good chance that it isn't, then please pull in the new tree, head down that directory and read the README that is in there. Resulting files should be sent to this �mailinglist. This is not a panacea, there are some known issues remaining (such as really bad dotclocks), so there will still be many cases where this driver will not be useful yet (like all the mobility users out there). But we are inching closer by populating our table. Thanks, Luc Verhaegen.
