the easiest way is to get diff -u 2.09 3.08 and port it by hand, at least I
ususally do it this way.

Convert to pci probing and in-kernel firmware loading :). The code is big mess
due to ifdefs and much unneeded material, it's likely impossible to say this is

you want to make. Then you will have feedback :).
