Good lucky with it...  The iir has been a pain for us (my employer
nCircle) for the last two years...  They were completely unhelpful in
finding out the v1.10 of iir.c was necessary to stablize our servers
(it's worse for us since the servers are at customer's sites)..  When
we tried to upgrade from 4.x to 5.4-R we were unable to as the iir card
would go out to lunch never to return (it has multiple commands
outstanding, none would complete)..   Oh, and when we told them 5.4-R,
they were sorry, we don't support anything past 5.2-R on our cards..
so you might as well stop using their cards...

As for driver rewrite.. it's obviously very necessary, and we have
been trying to get one done, but have been unable to find the correct
people to pay that are able to get it done...
