Yes.

I've been working on a driver for a while that would wrap the Linux
driver.  It has been slow going and might not be possible in the end.
I've a skeleton driver, but it gives nothing but panics when I try to
use it and it gets into the binary gooball :-(  Maybe if I can find a
few days to concentrate on it I could make more progress.
