Well,

I'd be perfectly happy to try dev drivers. At the mo, my coding is poor,
but i'm happy to bug test, etc. However i had a look at the site, and
how to get the cvs/svn/whatever copy of the usb driver eludes me. It
seems the dev used a strange versioning system, that IMHO looks a pian
in the arse to use. Is this just me? or is it really that complex?

If anyone can tell me how to get that downloaded, then i'll happily have
a play with the driver (but i won't be getting rid of ndiswrapper totall
y for a while yet it appears.
