I can provide you a easy way to test it, indeed.

We need to know that about 15 people already use the Kali drivers and we 
use the preprocessing function in the Hypra staff for a week.

Yes, we could be the maintainer of Kali and Baratinoo driver.

I'll send you two e-mails with the procedure for testing both kali and 
Voxygen in the day.
