I'll change the code style as soon as I'm in the process of cleaning up
(I like the way it is coded now, but I am sure there are tons of people
who don't agree). I'll send the driver to Philippe to be on the safe
side ;-)

I think I don't really agree there. For example, my driver wouldn't work
with the realtek addon Be provided. The read hook wouldn't quite work
together with what the add-on wanted. So I've written my own very simple
addon.
