I hope so. However, as John indicated sometimes patches are not so welcome
for unknown reason to me. Once I have sent a patch for a sound card (intel I
if I remember well), it was a tiny tiny little fix and they did not even
reply that is bad or because of this and that or they need a different
solution - it was completely ignored which I did not mind as I could patch
it myself :-) I have no idea if they fixed the problem, but now I use
another laptop so I cannot check it out either... There was another patch
regarding to sis 650 video drivers used by laptops, where the bridge did not
work with the original kernel. A buy in Austria made the patch (actually a
new driver) and for five years I was not in, however, everyone used that one
instead. I believe it is still not in, but now less people complain as that
video card is not used anymore in newer laptops.

So we are living in a hope, and would be really glad if they put your
modifications there - if not just please make a patch that everyone could
apply to the source and make it available somewere ;-)
