It was never my intention to violate the kernel GPL but I can't provide sources nor the config because I've never seen them either and just wanted to help somebody out... I have been trying to compile my own nubus-patched kernel (with the same sources mentioned) but never succeeded :-( I wanted to add MD support which was not compiled in the kernel I use. If you can tell me where I can find the name of the developer we'll both be happy.
