just give they guy a buzz and see what you can do, this list has alot
of the best linux-ppc minds listening. we just bought ben a minimac
so we can get him an airport e card as well. and then ben will show
the world how cool he is and write a driver. then next thinkg you know
yellow dog will use it as a 'new feature' as if they made it up. ok
ill be nice now. but seriously. its not like the info will go to waste.
i think everyone can learn from silly creative when they released closed
source drivers for the sblive, then they open sourced it and alan cox
made it good. hello alan cox, hes like the second highest person in
linux kind (debatable) and now the sblive is "the" card for linux
sound. so from boycott to prefered in one little release. its also
a tribute to creatives good chipset as well.

by buzz of course i mean call. im australian, although im on a plane 
from new zealand right now. (go look it up on a map)
