This is from the linux-2.4-paulus rsync tree. I recommend 2.4 unless MOL is
important.

Paulus' 2.4 tree has the airport driver (and Iain Sandoe's new dmasound
driver). That's 'nuff said for me. :) Beware that it's more experimental and

is ldconfig sporadically dying with an illegal instruction, but that seems to
be fixed now.
