I keep seeing people trying out that driver, apparently thinking that
they just need to compile the correct tree in order for their product
to work.  For the record, this driver is currently *TOTALLY BROKEN*.
Unless you are a developer who is prepared to reverse engineer the
wire protocol and debug the driver, then you should not be wasting
your time compiling the tree in the hope that it will work for you.

Cheers,
