Hey Lorenzo, The details are as follows. There was talk of a 4401 driver -- ericvh said that jmk had a mostly working version -- on the mentor comments of your SoC application. The stuff Uriel posted there was for the 57xx ServerWorks chipset. I have documentation for all the 57xx chips, so I can help you with that implementation. As far as the 4401, I don't have docs, but I've perused other drivers. If you aren't interested in a 57xx driver, I'm sure I can get one done at some point. I do see that you were assigned a mentor for another project to which you applied. If you are accepted, do you have a preference for which project you work on? --Devon
