If the driver is compiled as a module and I use loadlin and initrd to
load it from a Dos-formatted DOC I thought I would be in the clear
_legally_, but I know it's not a very good idea tachnically or moraly.
And I'm probably not going to do it either - I'll rather wait for the
next prototype (there is a whole series of prototypes I'm going to
test - and no, I wasn't part of the team spec'ing them..) to arrive,
and hope it's non-DOC based:)

I would really like to if I thought I could help, but with my coding
skills and general knowledge of linux-drivers I think I would slow
down rather than speed up the development;)
