[hcflinux-announce] New riptide-0.4mbsibeta02090100 linux driver release

[Marc Boucher]

Hi,

A new experimental version of the open-source Conexant (Rockwell) RipTide
Audio/Communication Controller driver for Linux is now available from

        http://www.mbsi.ca/cnxtlindrv

This release incorporates significant fixes. Keep in mind however that
the driver is still very preliminary.

Nonetheless we recommend that all users of the previous version upgrade.

A detailed list of changes since the first release in June is available below.

Please report any new or persisting problems.

Cheers
Marc

PS: Archived copies of previous releases are available via a link
located at the bottom of the main download page.
