+UPDATE NEWS: version 1.33 - 26 Aug 98
+
+ Interrupt management in this driver has become, over
+ time, increasingly odd and difficult to explain - this
+ has been mostly due to my own mental inadequacies. In
+ recent kernels, it has failed to function at all when
+ compiled for SMP. I've fixed that problem, and after
+ taking a fresh look at interrupts in general, greatly
+ reduced the number of places where they're fiddled
+ with. Done some heavy testing and it looks very good.
+ The driver now makes use of the __initfunc() and
+ __initdata macros to save about 4k of kernel memory.
+ Once again, the same code works for both 2.0.xx and
+ 2.1.xx kernels.
