Dave,

Is the fix for the b44 issue
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=118165)
incorporated into the kernels yet?

You had a comment indicating that Pekka's fix is in CVS (Comment #69),
but I had not seen it mentioned in the changelogs for these last couple
of kernel updates. Is the comment referring to Linus' CVS or Fedora's?

Also, does the change in the 4g/4g status influence the b44 fix?

Thanks Dave!
