SDL drivers for FR (and others) are available - there is info on ftp.sdlcomm.com (I forgot the ftp site - the drivers are made by another company). However, the driver is: - binary-only, made with 2.0.35 (2.0.36?) kernel - buggy - there is a memory leak in FR code - eating RAM when the PVC is not valid. They said they will eventually fix it.
I'm not sure if distributing binary-only driver is legal - looks like it's based on linux:drivers/net/skeleton.c, which is GPLed. -- Krzysztof Halasa Network Administrator of The Palace of Youth in Warsaw
