TMI completed these driver changes of a year ago and has since been maintaining
it. Silicon Labs was to push these changes through to the mainline kernel, but
-this clearly has not happened yet. TMI will be working directly with the kernel
-cp210x maintainer to investigate incorporating our changes. Meanwhile, TMI
-will continue to maintain its branch of the cp210x driver. The
-`cp210x-module-dkms` package in the APT repository has been tested on Ubuntu
-Hardy and Karmic systems with both 32 and 64 bit x86 (Intel/AMD) processors.
+this clearly has not happened yet. TMI has had some discussions with the
+linux-usb developers, and a decent number of changes need to be made before
+they will include our modifications upstream. Specifically, they want to see
+all ioctl calls replaced with other mechanisms. We hope to allocate some time
+to work on these issues in the future. Meanwhile, TMI will continue to
+maintain its branch of the cp210x driver. The `cp210x-module-dkms` package in
+the APT repository has been tested on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron), 9.10
+(Karmic Koala) and 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) systems, having both 32 and 64 bit
+x86 (Intel/AMD) processors.
