hehe, seems like everyone has their own patchkit these days :)
I probably won't be announcing each release, just the ones of interest
or that need wider testing.  All of these patches are likely bound for
Marcelo, after testing.  Most of these patches relate to net drivers.

Available on your favorite kernel.org mirror soon,
ftp://ftp.??.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/patchkits/2.4/2.4.17-rc2-jg1.tar.gz

Patches and comments welcome.  Attached is the Contents file for the jg1
tarball.  More changes are coming soon (hi Jes!).  Most if not all these
patches are available from the 'linux_2_4' module of gkernel cvs.

19_netif_msg.patch

        Add netif_msg_hw and netif_msg_wol to netif_msg API.
        Required by 20_natsemi.  Reminder to self:  since this
        is not in the mainline as I previously thought,
        netif_msg_hw should not be added since it's too general.
