    It means it sounds like you have an older version of the driver (older here
    means "not my latest patch"). I sent my stuff to Alan, and it was in the ac
    series kernels, but I don't know what happened to make it into 2.4.3. I'm
    fixing one last known bug in the driver tonight, and when I'm done I'll put a
    patch against 2.4.3 on my web site and drop a note here.
