I'm wondering just what problems this driver fixed, and whether I had/have
these problems..  How close to stable is this?  Are there a signifigant
number of changes that this might be included in 2.0.31?

There is no reference to 2.0.24+ in the tarball.  Are you saying I only
need to change the kernel version in the Makefile, and follow the rest of
the directions?
