Just execute "strings foobar.arm | head" to output the version number of 
the firmware. The file from your driver CD appears to be version 1.0.3.0. 
Here's the complete list of known versions:

Size    MD5                               Name/version
119272  8c87097df7cb70aa199ae8d8b45aea36  0.8.0.0.arm
123120  a07791fa148c2cc3da0992e1ea4e5f12  0.8.1.0.arm
 92072  e9b4c86892912b2548f7dfd005e80397  1.0.0.0.arm
 92476  1f0a68fbe45963f76e525c9789f5609c  1.0.3.0.arm
 93996  8bd4310971772a486b9784c77f8a6df9  1.0.4.3.arm

I don't think 0.8.1.0.arm is "public" so far, it came on the driver CD of 
one of my cards.

Luis (or anyone else), wouldn't it be a good idea to write a script which 
tells people to insert their Windows driver CD and which

 - scans for files with the above md5sums
 - scans for any file with an .arm extension
 - if all else fails, tells people to install the driver under Windows and 
   then to repeat the scan over /mnt/windows (or whatever)

I could knock up a shell script if you want.

Cheers,

  Richard
