Hi,

A new version of the Conexant HCF (controllerless) drivers for Linux
is now available from

	http://www.mbsi.ca/cnxtlindrv

Most of the changes since the last release are bug fixes and improvements
to the installation procedure.  A detailed list is included below.

If you could not install the previous version(s), please try again with
this one and report any problems.

People who have encountered abrupt disconnects with previous releases
should see the new "BAD CONNECTIONS" section in the INSTALL file.

Good luck
Marc
