OK boys - I think we beat this horse to death now :-)

Established - Brother provides support for linux that makes their
customers happy and want to pass that info on.
            - Brother needs to package their drivers better for the 64
bit version, because their use of --force is a poor choice.

on them for a while, and then smack 'em around some more to make sure
we're all really sure that we got our licks in :-)
