I try and keep an eye on the git repo for it and do releases whenever
something important/interesting comes along.  I knew we needed the
intel firmware update, but I hadn't checked in a while.  I'll get an
update together later today.  It would be nice if upstream actually
did releases, but at this point I've given up on that entirely.
