I am not sure that Hayes is a native english speaker.

I am glad to see him posting here.

Do you have some scripts to convert the data at hand ?

I would welcome a clear statement regarding the status of the binary thing
(code ? data ?) but even without one *now*, I'd like to see it separated
from the main code : the driver sucks and things will go worse with
support code for the 8168e.

Is there anybody objecting to it ? I will buy anything be it firmware API
or plain .h.
