this version include:
- Support for version 2.x firmware (2.42 or later recommended). This
means we are the only open-source driver supporting these adapters.
This code has only been tested on a Digital KZPCA adapter in an Alpha
system, but is believed to be correct. NOTE: EISA adapters are not
yet supported.
- Support the BIOS/Firmware initialisation handshake protocol. This
allows the driver to bring the card up to operational state even if
the BIOS can't be run (eg. if it's an x86 BIOS in an Alpha system).
- A working command pasthrough interface. This allows a user-space
configuration tool (under development) to issue arbitrary commands
to the controller or to devices in the system.
