As many of these patches will be to the driver this means applying the patches to your kernel and recompiling. It's a quite involved process and not really for the faint hearted. If you really want to test them out, the easiest way would be to install Mandriva Cooker (the development version of Mandriva) and the latest kernel package. I'm not sure if these patches are in the latest cooker kernel yet but Herton is part of the kernel team and the patches will no doubt show up soon if they are not there already.
