- Note that using this driver in concert with efibootmgr requires
- at least test release version 0.5.0-test3 or later, which is
- available from:
- <http://linux.dell.com/efibootmgr/testing/efibootmgr-0.5.0-test3.tar.gz>

- Subsequent efibootmgr releases may be found at:

+ Note that this driver is only retained for compatibility with
+ legacy users: new users should use the efivarfs filesystem
+ instead.
