If this is successfully completed, we'll have a completely universal driver for any kind of winmodem without any proprietary code which result in all sorts of kernel version problems." Here's the full text of the announcement and conditions.
Bounty $20000 for developing an application that will bring your computer to a crawl.
AFAIK nobody suggested that the driver has to be written in Java
disclosure: I AM a Java developer and I was just being sarcastic - no flames please
You can accomplish anything you set your mind to. The impossible just takes a little longer.
