Please note that the version information in the Subject of the original 
announcement was incorrect.  The driver is from the kernel tree staging 
directory, and did not have version information; thus it is designated 
"0.0-1" as can be seen from the package names.  The bogus version in the 
Subject: was accidentally carried over from the old announcement for 
something else that I used as a template.

Sorry for any confusion.
