Which is a prerelease 2.6.18 kernel.  It can't be called 2.6.18
because that kernel doesn't exist yet.  See the changelog:

* Sun Aug 20 2006 Dave Jones <davej@xxxxxxxxxx>

- 2.6.18rc4-git1

Hmmm - I must say I wasn't aware of this... If that the case, I wonder if it's possible to get gregkh's full patch put into the Fedora kernel.... would certainly make my life much easier :P

Looks like Linus is back from vacation (or at least popping in), as
2.6.18-rc5 hit kernel.org on Sunday. That ought to contain everything
gregkh was keeping in his tree, and we ought to have a new rawhide
kernel based on -rc5 relatively soon...

Doesn't look like (for whatever reason) 2.6.18-rc5 had his patches in it, as there's still the updated USB core stuff as well as i2c/PCI fixes that haven't been migrated into the kernel yet at:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/gregkh-2.6/gregkh-all-2.6.18-rc5.patch

It's about a 1.1Mb patch, mainly geared towards fixing a number of USB issues as well as a few more drivers (including the adutux drive that I require).
