Comment 1 Jay Turner 2005-11-10 18:37:22 UTC 
Also might make sense to drop the "Please also change my e-mail address from
klemets.se to aklemets." part of the message above while
making the associated change.

It probably helps to actually remove the offensive part of the patch... :-)
Comment 5 John W. Linville 2005-11-16 21:02:23 UTC 
The same file exists in RHEL4 and upstream, FWIW...
Comment 7 Ernie Petrides 2005-11-17 23:21:12 UTC 
Removing dependency on bug 172661 (against kernel-pcmcia-cs component).
Comment 8 Ernie Petrides 2005-11-23 00:25:19 UTC 
A fix for this problem has just been committed to the RHEL3 U7
patch pool this evening (in kernel version 2.4.21-37.10.EL).
