Hello, a new kernel pre-patch is out (rc2). I'll update the kp, although
our current patch should work against it since the new prepatch does not
make changes on 2.4 to:

Documentation/Configure.help
drivers/net/wireless/Makefile
drivers/net/wireless/Config.in

The major fix seems to be ACPI.  Bellows is the small ChangeLog for rc2.

Oh BTW, I've set the patchomatic script to e-mail me if there is a new
kernel release (stable, pre-patch, or beta). Do you guys want that e-mail
too? Its contents are at the very end of this e-mail if you'd like to take
a look at its output. I've tested it for a while now and it *only* sends
an email if it connected and there is a new release.

PS. for those of you who may use that (patchomatic.sh) please change the
e-mail address ;)
