I just recently looked at that. There seemed to be only a driver for 2.2.12,
it may work with 2.2.16+ if forced, but it certainly won't work with 2.4.0
(which I use).
Is there any working open-source code for this? If so I can port it to 2.4.0
myself. Otherwise is there any support for 2.4.0 coming from Lucent?
