Get HTTP/400 errors from the webserver when attempting to download the source - most of the site is in French so cannot see any reference to a newer version.

There's a link midway down ... "for english readers download the Saitek P2500 driver directly here:  http://www.goffi.org/telecharger.php?id=16 "

Here's the working URL:

It needs to get patched for the latest kernels. I mailed the author and he has no time to take care of this driver. 

He said that the best thing would be to recode it in userspace or to clean the code and ask for an inclusion directly in the kernel's sources, but he has no more time to do this.

I am not using Gentoo but Debian so if you can also produce stand alone patch it would be nice. Thanks in advance.
