I've used the airport patch in kernel-patch-powerpc for a long time,
and also posted it on debian-powerpc a while ago and got only positive
feedback.  When we started work on the 2.6 kernel-image packages, it
happened to be the only patch against the vanilla source that I was
still using, so I included it mainly as a placeholder and it stuck.
I'm not particularly attached to this patch and if someone gives me a
good reason to stop including it, it will disappear from the next
release.

Regards, Jens.
