Nikolay,

Thanks for the agrsm-test improvments, I'll deb package them.

RE: >  BTW Why agrsm-tool is a separate package?
It is Debian/Ubuntu policy to provide Drivers and Auxilliary files in
separate packages.

I am working towards getting the agrsm drivers & agrsm-tools into
their Distributions,
as that would greatly diminish the work load of this List.
The major problem with respect to the agrsm-11c1040 is removal of the USB code,
so the compile will be legal.  If you and Bjorn could thus help, it
would be very useful.
