It's a long story; basically, GTGI needed a driver for Linux that was more stable than what was represented here, and so we went with a port of the OpenBSD hifn(4) driver instead. Since then, we've received several requests for Windows 2000 support, and this driver *could* fill that need, but it needs quite a bit of work.
