+Attention!
+
+This driver comes without the firmware, because the copyright situation
+is still unclear. So it's not working. We're trying to work this out
+with Visiontech, and hope to provide a working driver soon.
+
+Visiontech makes the microcode available for free download on their own
+ftp site ftp.visiontech-dml.com. They offered their own user-space (and not really 
+working without many system locks) Linux driver including firmware there.
+They removed it for unknown reasons but you can download versions for some 
+of those other operating systems which some people use.
+Install the Win9x/Kfir1 version on your system, cd to driver/micro, adjust the paths 
+in the first two lines of Makefile and do "make" to extract the microcodes.
+Afterwards you should be able to compile and use the driver.
+
+There is no license agreement in the installation file of those drivers but 
+some microcode files contain a copyright header. 
+I am not a lawyer, so please figure out for yourself how they apply in the
+situtation in which you are using the driver.
