Sounds like an interesting project. Probably the reason why there isn't such a driver is because there hasn't been much interest? The drivers in our package are written by folks who wanted/needed the driver. So, if you want a driver for your needs, you'll have to write it yourself. If you can't, you may need to find somebody with a similar interest who /can/ write the driver and work with them. Lastly, you could try to make someone interested in writing the driver by offering to pay them. ;') I suggest you try to scrape together as much technical detail on how such a driver would work, and adapt a similar existing driver (like the icspll driver) to work for your needs. Another idea is to try to reverse engineer a driver by doing a little hardware hacking to monitor and log what happens on the I2C/SMBus while you noodle with the settings under Windows (I'm not sure exactly how that would work... perhaps rig a parallel port connected to the I2C/SMBus?)... of course, that's assuming that it really is controlled over I2C/SMbus and not by, say, a CPU register. Anyways, if you tackle the driver we'd welcome the addition to the project!
