Yep. I mailed them as well and got the same reply. To me it
sounds like: "We are not going to write a Linux driver unless
hordes of screaming customers tell us to do so right now, so
bugger off!"

When I pressed the matter further by asking about the
availability of the specifications so that I could start
working on a driver myself, the answer was blunt: "sorry,
they are classified. you'll have to wait until the drivers
are ready."

I've understood that the decryption of the DVD-signal is
handled on the hardware level so encryption cannot be the
reason for them to withhold the card's programming specs.

Petition time, anyone?
