Thanks, I'd greatly appreciate it since I don't have any -stable
machine where I can plug in a controller.

Be aware that the driver is based on a beta-quality Linux

I wanted to make it clear that this is for the version 2
controller. Putting a 2 in the name was the only way which
occurred to me.

I tried to make all the printf's look like "ifpi2-<unit>", but I
guess I missed some :(
