There's a small patch I created over the weekend to fix/support some stuff
available at :

http://www.comp.glam.ac.uk/students/djones2/computers/kernel/patches.html

If you only want some of the features, you can get the individual diffs
from the same location. The diffs are applied against 2.2.2ac7, but will
apply to 2.2.2 vanilla with a search & replace for 'ac' -> 'vanilla'

If this patch breaks anything, please let me know directly, I sometimes
miss digests..

Regards,

Dave..

Differences between 2.2.2ac7.dj1 and 2.2.2ac7:

o lib/vsprintf.c
Now prints strings with '%%' in them as '%'.
Should stop strange texts in dmesg output.
Could this be 'the longest-living bug in Linux' as mentioned in
the CREDITS file by Lars Wirzenius ? :-)
o drivers/pci/quirks.c
Added bridge optimisation for VIA 82C586 chipset.
Fullstops added to some strings that had them missing.
o drivers/net/ne2k-pci.c
Added support for DLink CT528 (http://www.dlink.com)
This ugly is a clone of a RealTek 8029, which is a clone of an
NE2k. Most bizarre. Even more bizarre, they used almost the same
PCI info, so adding code to read the subsystem was necessary.
o arch/i386/kernel/apm.c
Removed two unused vars.
o arch/sparc64/kernel/cpu.c
Corrected typo "Unknow CPU"
