that would be nice if it was done indeed. Also as you may have read in the
[email protected] mailing list , I posted about several problems I had with the 
PCA200E driver with HARP, do you know if your drivers would fix this ? 

I also hope that all these changes you propose will be able to to be integrated
into STABLE soon because running current on a production machine is not good IMHO :)
