Hi Ron,

You must get patch-2.2.6 patch-2.2.7 patch-2.2.8 patch-2.2.9 and
patch-2.2.10 patches and than:

1) do a "make mrproper" from inside linux source tree to clean the sources

2) unpack patches, if they aren't, using "gunzip patch-name" for .gz or
"bunzip2 patch-name" for .bz2

3) do "patch -p1 < patch-name" where patch name is patch-2.2.6 up to
patch-2.2.10

Thats all, cheers,
Davide.
