Aside from the 2.6.5 part, everything else is as expected.

The 0.28/0.26 part refers to the version of the main source file for the driver.
In this case, the BCMXCP core has a RS-232 subdriver and a USB subdriver. The
change from 0.26 to 0.28 means that the core code had two minor revisions
between the 2.6.5 release and the current Git master, and the RS-232-specific
portion of the code did not change. (At least, that's the idea - we have not
automated the assignment of version numbers.)

I just noted that I got my outputs reversed in my posting - the git version is
the .26, with 2.7.1 being .28, which still seems odd . . .
But at least Iam on the correct tree! Since I have seen some other questions
regarding the Prestige, I was thinking of formalizing
my changes into anactual patch.

The "-3857M" suffix on the "0.26 (2.6.5-3857M)" version was
generated from SVN. Is it possible that the driver is left over from another
package?
