I haven't sent anything out. I'm not satisfied that the current 5.0.x
drivers are suitable for 2.1.x kernels yet. There are some interrupt
handler issues that need to be straightened out (especially for SMP) and
some other locking issues that need to be fixed/updated for 2.1.x before
I would think it to be correct. OTOH, the 3.2 driver isn't any better in
these regards, so what the hell :)
