-	  Extremely Experimental! This driver is a Linux specific way to use your
-	  IEEE1394 Host as an Ethernet type device. This is _NOT_ IP1394.
+	  This driver implements a functional majority of RFC 2734: IPv4 over
+	  1394.  It will provide IP connectivity with implementations of RFC
+	  2734 found on other operating systems.  It will not communicate with
+	  older versions of this driver found in stock kernels prior to 2.6.3.
+	  This driver is still considered experimental.  It does not yet support
+	  MCAP, therefore multicast support is significantly limited.
