[Marcus Jacob <rossi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't tried Linux, will probably give it a try on Thursday (since it is a 
holiday and I have plenty of time).

My machine does't have serial output, since it lacks a serial port. I can 
check, wether I find a port replicator though - after all there needs to be 
some merit to work for the company who built this notebook.

I have no clue when the next BeGeistert will be. Haven't been to one for a 
very long time. But its a good idea. Heck maybe some people even might still 
know me ;-)

Who maintains the driver? Do we have access to the specifications of the 
chipset?

Cheers,
Rossi
