Not as far as I know, no-one has said as much to the list. Vasil and I
don't have the time or resources, though we're happy to help if we
can.  Keep talking on the list.

I guess that many of these will be quite simple, since
startup/shutdown and Tx functions are part of the API. There's no poll
as such, so presumably getting UNDI to achieve this is not quite
trivial. I think you'll just have to wade through the API.

My guess is "dumbass firmware". :)
