I would greatly appreciate to see this thing go into the tree. I
still have to build a measurement system in our lab (you remeber,
John :-)) and people there are talking about linux already :-(.
Don't shoot me, but I would like to see it in 2.2.x if possible,
since 3.x-STABLE still has some problems which makes it impossible
for me to use it on production machines.
Thanks a lot,
