Well, i think that most ideas take us to make a fine KFV flow, so we can
decide to know what to do in any case we find.

Upgrading the kfv.el is a good idea and it will work well but i have no
experience working on Emacs (not even using it). :(

I'll write a draft, improving the past table flow.
When i have it ready i'll show it to you, and we can add or move
whatever we thinks is better.

Right now i found this at

Opinions?
The driver work together this firmware, but is *seems* not free.

Irrelevant of the license, that's an uncommented binary blob.
Accordingly, it's non free.
