This is getting silly. Just saying "yes, the driver does X" but
ignoring reasonable requests to actually state _how_ isn't too
helpful.

I don't mind if you've made a mistake and the driver can't actually do
what you've claimed, but knowing one way or the other would at least
help to progress the issue.
