Thank you.
I will revise the driver according to your comments.

As Larry mentioned, end users use this driver. Since bugs found in v6,
we have fixed them and driver is under QA. I plan to have that fixes in v7
released this week.
This version will also include fixes of your comments.
Does it work to you?
