Wouldn't this mean there is an error message? The patch could work with a newer kernel in general (?).

I did not try it but are there so many changes between both releases?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards,

It appears that this patch is available in the apt repos under the

Once it's downloaded, it patches the kernel in an automated fashion and 
doesn't force a reboot (although I believe you still need one to make it 
effective, I suppose).

AFAIK, it's for kernel 3.2.21, I don't see how could it work with
Wheezy kernel - 3.2.51.

Hi Marko,

Thank you for the heads-up.  `uname -a` indicates that I am indeed using 3.2.51.  I should probably have done my research more carefully before blindly installing a kernel patch.  :-X

Cheers,

Andrew
