Linksys WMP54G Version 4.1

[Christopher Prance]

Hey appreciate the info and would love to get mine up and running, but
the version of the if_ral_pci.c that I have is 1.2.x.x something.  I'm
running 6.2 p4.  Which cvs tag did you use to get the 1.5 version of
the ral driver...

Thanks,
Christopher Prance
