So many changes!
I hope you see it makes a lot more sense to make smaller patches 
against the existing driver to be able to test the changes better - 
well, next time :-)
If you want to work on the driver in our repository instead of sending 
patches, I guess we could give you write access as well.

Bye,
   Axel.

Yes, small patches would be ideal, the driver developed a life of it's own over 
a period of 6
months or so last summer living in a private SVN repository on my pc.  I'm sure 
I was
offered commit access a while back, but I've never had the time to polish 
things off to a good enough level to commit it.  Plus there is always something 
wrong with it on someones PC or laptop.  The testers are those people on 
bebits. :)  I'll send you a patch file so you can look the WIP at if you get 
the time. I'll then split the diff file into numerous patches at some point 
then someone can commit them if they are suitable quality.

Euan.
