Actually, it's direct continuation of the 0.0.x series.  It's
unfortunate that the complexity of the build system makes you mistrust
the recent code, although I can relate.  I hope it will be remedied
quickly.

It's possible to compile the 1.0.x driver against recent unpatched
kernels, even against the standard Fedora 7 kernel, by stripping support
for Intel's rate control algorithm:
