Once upon a time Jay Teutenberg shaped the electrons to say...

Whether or not you like it, 3.8.2 is a *release*.

Perhaps it is due to a forced change in the chipset used. If the chips
they'd been using were no longer available and they had to use a newer
revision it may mean revised drivers, which - of course - would mean new
code.

3.8.2 is officially supported. Duh.
