When I last contacted them, couple of months ago, through
I-dunno-how-many-middle[wo]men they assured that
"driver is in developement" and "soon we make a release"...

I have ported the 1.14 version of the driver to 2.2.18.
Basically converted their idea of patching with cp to
normal diff and dropped all reverse changes.
http://www.l-t.ee/marko/linux/dpt114-2.2.18p22.diff.gz
It was for pre22 but applies cleanly to final 2.2.18.
The other soft was most current in valinux site:

No, the DPT driver has not been updated to native Linux i2o.
Note: the driver compiles only with gcc 2.7.2.3, (dunno about
egcs). 2.95.2 makes it acting weird. I do not know if
thats gcc or driver problem.
