Thanks for the updates.. I didn't know about this.. Where did you find out??

I've downloaded the patch.. taken a look at it.. but noticed that some of the files related to Cpufreq is _out_of_date_ ??? I had one file that is dated Aug 28, but the one included in the -pac patch is dated Jan.
bero@arklinux.org is your man.
BTW, how can I find out what patches were included in the -pac patch? Is there a list that says something like --> -pac1 (contained patches for swsusp, supermount, cpufreq, etc..etc..)
well, there is no official list. But I am going to send you one, more or less accurate.
