When you hire me, you will get the binary and source code for a kernel module that will emulate the dongle. It will be for the current mainline kernel, unless otherwise agreed.
I have extensive experience with debugging on Linux, and I have contributed bug fixes to the Linux kernel (as well as other opensource projects).
I will require you to provide SSH root access to a [virtual] machine with the dongle plugged in, either via parallel port, or via USB parallel port emulator.
I trust that you have the rights to circumvent the Copyright protection under the laws of your local jurisdiction.
Thank you for taking the time to read my proposal.
Kind regards,
Jan Minar
