Hi Gerard,

Great work!
I wish the driver I'm working on (tmscsim/am53c974) would work that well.

I found one minor problem, however:
modprobe/insmod from modutils-2.1.85 don't want to accept parameters.
Here's a patch:

I don't know, where exactly the MODULE_PARM feature was added; 2.1.30 is just a
guess ...
