for mga2, the driver update (meaning no new functionality, just bugfixes is
295)
for mga3 (beta1) the latest driver is atm 310...
if for mga2 you want a newer driver you should ask for a backport request, ie:
to have 310 on mga2 as well.
plz file such requests at <A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/">https://bugs.mageia.org/</A>
