Well, this code is extremely Intel specific and the long term plan would be to ditch it in favor of a generic service. However, that is currently in the "until somebody has time to work on it", as no other devices are coming forward with need for support. That said, it'd be extremely difficult to modify it to work with your driver. How high is the mad driver in the stack level? Does it connect to NAPs or to NSPs? Thank you! -- -- Inaky
