Not specifically familiar with the package (I have a thing about closed
source kernel modules, I won't run them, or why did I bother switching
from closed source MS after a decade of using it, to open source Linux... 
I choose to run a Radeon using the free xorg drivers), but possibly he's
running ~arch and you are running stable arch? There are also occasionally
newer packages still hard masked, available for anyone willing to risk the
stability of their system enough to unmask them, possibly keyword them
locally, and merge them.
