Ah, that's useful... but the version in 2.4.4 doesn't seem to be
maintained by Donald Becker, although the ChangeLog does say it was
"Merged" from 92t...

The driver says :-

"version 0.9.14e" in it....

Can anyone suggest what this is and what the current situation WRT
changing the driver is is the versions are different.
