I've already emailed this attached patch to Dag and hopefully will appear in
the next release, but if anyone else is struggling with the GIrBIL dongle,
this patch got it working for me.
Built against kernel 2.2.16pre2, but should work with 2.2.15.

# For some reason MSECS_TO_JIFFIES(10) on my system makes it fail to
# initialise, the old value of 20 in the 2.2.14 driver works fine.
# Interestingly, using 10 on my i486 laptop works....
