Attansic driver for Haiku

.......which would really open up the usefulness of the super-fast Haiku on my Asus EeePC 901 by allowing a network connection.
I heard from the guy that's developing this driver today and he told me that he's not working on it now due to pressure of time. But he hopes to get some time around Christmas to finish it off.
I really hope he does.
Edit (19-11-2008). Just got another email from the developer today saying that he might get a chance to look at this driver over the coming weekend. That's good news.
