Maybe. I've been looking at the UDI specs, and I've been pointed at the people at Intel who are working on their reference implementation. From what I see, it looks like it would be reasonable fit which will not be too difficult for me to implement (and for testing performance, what better that a slowish 486 machine talking to a controller on a slow bus? If I can get this working, then I can go back and start UDIzing things that I'm using commercially, like the AMD Lance driver, which seems to have (1.09) serious trouble when you put it on a firewall just upstream of a ISDN line.] But I'll find out soon; I'd not be surprised if the people at Intel are working on UDI for 2.2, which means I'll have to independently implement it for 2.0.28, but if they're not, many hands make light work.
