I have already begun working on it. Although I'm only begining, I've already managed to compile some drivers (they don't link yet). I've also been able to understand how to initialize the drivers. There is quite a load of work, but I'm more comfortable than when I tried porting drivers from Linux 2.6. -- Richard Braun
