Hi Rolf, Thanks a lot for the information. Pity it is not released in a stable version (yet), but I should be able to get the git version up and running anyway. More frequent stable releases might be key here, especially for non-IT users, the current way makes it too hard to find the right information and even harder to use the driver then :)
I do not have the device yet, was doing the inquiry before buying, but now I know I shall probably buy it. As soon as I have it, I will post my findings here.
