Yeah, leave it with me. I'm still trying to chase down the right person internally to speak to about such old hardware. :-)

I'll let you know if I can find the firmware source and tools.

Yes I have. Adrian promised to see what could be done regarding docs.

The FW blob is already released under a good license. I guess the best

but lets deal with that when/if the driver gets merged.
