You're right, it is hoey. If the NOS is complaining about old APIs it means
the driver is pre 3.11 and you will need a new driver. The old APIs are mapped
to newer ones so it will still work, but you will need a newer driver for
optimal performance. Check out our BBS or CI$ and the SMC forum for the
new drivers.
