Looking inside your patch i've learned it's related to wifi. That could 
explain why i haven't seen any problem so far, because i use this laptop 
always with a cabled ethernet.

This is a problem to test your patch, because i have no wireless network 
at hand. The other problem is the current lack of time: i hope i can 
find some time to learn how to build kernels nowadays, then doing it on 
my old hardware, but i cannot guarantee.
It would be really really helpful and time saving if you could provide 
me a patched .deb kernel. In that case i'll do my best to find a 
temporary access point to test.

Thank you as usual, Ben.

Cesare.
