The reason it stopped working was that I added autoconf functionality
to the uba driver. Before that it was a strange hard-coded beast.
The current driver in the source tree hasn't almost been touched since
that, but all uba structures has changed so there are a little work
to make it work correctly. It may have been around 1.1R somewhere that
I fixed this.
