Take a look at Wolfgang Pfeiffer's answers from a few days ago with the
thread named "applying patch". Basically, a lot of the patches on the
kernel.org page are not meant to be applied to the 2.6.11.? realeases,
just the vanilla 2.6.11. I made the exact same mistakes. Wolfgang's
message has the URL's as to where to get the proper patches that apply
cleanly. After applying those, you should be able to get the various
new hardware patches to apply more cleanly.
