[riptide] [riptide-announce] New riptide-0.4mbsibeta02101000 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 provides pre-compiled binaries for RedHat 8.0 and
Mandrake 9.0. An important bug has also been fixed.
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 is available below.

Please report any new or persisting problems.

Cheers
Marc

PS: Archived copies of previous releases are available via a link
