Announcing the release of M-VIA version 1.2b1.

This is a beta release which includes support for the (optional)
VIPL peer-to-peer connection protocol, as well as support for
the Linux 2.2 and Linux 2.4 kernels.

The distribution has been split into multiple tarballs:
   mvia-1.2b1.tar.gz              M-VIA core distribution
   mvia-devs-2.2-1.2b1.0.tar.gz   Linux 2.2 driver set
   mvia-devs-2.4-1.2b1.0.tar.gz   Linux 2.4 driver set

The M-VIA core tarball contains the source code for VIPL, the Kernel
Agent as well as the ERing and Loopback drivers.  The driver sets 
contain the Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet drivers specific 
to Linux 2.2 and Linux 2.4.

You will need to download both the core distribution and one 
(or both) of the driver sets.  See the "INSTALL" in the top 
level directory of the M-VIA distribution for installation instructions.

This is a beta release of M-VIA 1.2, which will also contain
a reliable delivery option not included in this release.
