Well, I have a call in with Lucent now; yes, definitely the code is
<stress> VERY </stress> proprietary (no surprise there) and they get lots
of calls from people trying to write drivers... I was told that they'd get
back to me (which, of course, I put utmost faith in)... but the odd bit
is, the guy also says that as far as he knows, Lucent is working on Linux
drivers.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Anyhow, maybe if we can get enough people calling in it'll make at least a
bit of difference. The #, for those of you in the states, is
888-458-2368. Choose "2" (product/service info), "2" (business
customer), then "2" again (microelectronics stuff)... Hopefully they'll
get the hint.
