Does this mean also then that the peripheral identification doesn't work
either? Somehow the DOS/Windows drivers detect what this device
is. However, when I look at /proc/parport/0/autoprobe it says
MODEL:Unknown device;
MANUFACTURER:Unknown vendor;
Is this a symptom of the same thing?

Well, the code that comes with the driver I mentioned has nothing in the
code itself regarding any copyright. However, all over the rest of the
driver is stuff with Copyright ATEN on it.
