Thomas,

	I was looking for a developer for this. I have all the information required
to do the driver, but I'm not a developer. The company itself decided to
make a driver as well. But they haven't released one. I don't know what we
should do, either send e-mails to the company that made the hardware and
that told me they could make the drivers, or if we should look for more
developers interested in developing this.
