Ok, I just released 1.3.37, which hopefully fixes at least some of the
silly problems with 1.3.36 (you've seen my two networking patches that
fix some of them already - if you have applied those you need to
de-apply them to get a clean 1.3.36 to apply the real 1.3.37 patch).

1.3.37 can be found on ftp.funet.fi and ftp.cs.helsinki.fi, and probably
pretty quickly on sites that mirror my kernel directories. The changes
are roughly:

- Various minor config problems in 1.3.36 fixed. "xconfig" still
doesn't work, but we'll get there eventually.
- sound driver should work on Alpha, possibly with the caveat that
MAX_DMA_ADDRESS may need changing. Those on the alpha list have
probably seen that patch. We may not have DOOM, but Maelstrom is
pretty ok. (Jay Estabrook)
- Avanti boards hopefully supported on alpha. I haven't been able to
test.. (David M-T)
- Various SMP fixes (Alan Cox & co).
- Aztech CDROM driver update. Should now handle TXC cards too (Werner
Zimmermann).
- cdu31a driver update (Corey Minyard).
- small tty layer sanity test: this _may_ fix the LSDS. We only have
one report to go on, though.
- Paul Gortmaker updated some of the network card drivers: 3c503/16
support and better loadable module support for wd80x3 cards.
- arcnet driver updated (Avery Pennarun).
- more PCI ids (Frederic Potter)
- Various network fixes (Alan Cox & co)

(oh, btw, if you've sent me a patch and never got any reply and it
didn't show up in 1.3.37: re-send, as I've had lots of mails and might
have missed some of them).
