    Yes, I know all about Jungo, and have never heard anything good about
    them from either the Windows developers I know, or anyone who has tried
    to get their stuff working on Linux using their framework.

    I would not recommend their stuff at all, it's much easier to just write
    a native Linux and Windows driver instead. Especially with the new
    Windows Driver Framework, which helps those developers out a lot more
    these days.

    thanks,
