Are you interested in CVS commit privileges?  You'll certainly get my vote.
Of course we could use the help especially now (upcoming sync w/ 2.4, 
driver porting and userspace re-write for 2.6, etc.)  Please contact 
Philip Edelbrock <phil at netroedge.com> privately for username/password,
and also to join the mailing list if you haven't already.

I'll commit this patch now.
