AFAIK the reason for using ACs kernel patches was primarily for the
PNPBIOS module. I have not been able to find any AC patches for 2.4.25,
and I don't think any are available.

I'm not sure that an Acer requires the PNPBIOS module, however if you need
it the pcmcia-cs provides a pnp module. Do a search on this list or
google for pnp.o and pcmcia and see what comes up.

Cheers.

what i need is pentium-m support. among other things, the ac patches

Ah, I was TP centric there. Sorry. I do remember searching for AC
patches but couldn't find any.

Luck.

These patches have been taken up in the "-pac" series, although I don't
know (1) whether the parts you want are there, or (2) whether this series
performs well.

i heard that but i guess the centrino patch is not there, you cannot
choose pentium-m as cpu.
i will give the -pac series a try anyway

ok it works. you have to choose pentium 4 instead of pentium m but
cpufreq works
