P.S. I am running 2.6.32-24-generic on a 32-bit Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
box.

Your 2.6.32-24-generic includes :
- 908ba2bfd22253f26fa910cd855e4ccffb1467d0
- 78f1cd02457252e1ffbc6caa44a17424a45286b8

But it misses 81a95f049962ec20a9aed888e676208b206f0f2e and
024a07bacf8287a6ddfa83e9d5b951c5e8b4070e

I thank you for your reply. If there is time I will try a more recent
kernel. (For the moment the Realtek drivers are fine for me.) I
know how to (re-)compile distribution kernels and how to compile a
vanilla kernel from kernel.org. However, I have no idea what the
hex-codes you mentioned mean. Can you give me a hint?

If not already staged, please consider including these commits for 2.6.32.y:

024a07bacf8287a6ddfa83e9d5b951c5e8b4070e
81a95f049962ec20a9aed888e676208b206f0f2e

They are already included in 2.6.33.y and up, so its curious that they are not also included in 2.6.32.y as they do apply cleanly.
