I've uploaded patch-2.1.104ac1.gz to ftp.uk.linux.org:/pub/linux/alan/2.1

This is the kernel tree I'm currently running. The main things it should do
are fix sound (except the GUS), and update the video4linux code. It also
contains the updated 8390 ethernet drivers, documentation updates,
and the radio drivers as video4linux drivers. Can people give the sound
and radio especially a good testing. If these radio drivers are now all
behaving we can drop the radio.c/rtrack.c files. (The API for the video/radio
stuff is available on http://roadrunner.swansea.uk.linux.org/v4l.shtml)

Other things in it

o Steven Hirsch's COPS driver updates for Tangent cards (COPS LT1 etc)
o Shaper can shaper above 56Kbits (Miquel Van Smoorenberg)
o Support for NCR53c400a and DTC3181E SCSI (Ronald van Cuijlenborg and
Ingmar Baumgart, ported to 2.1.x by me so bug me with problems)
o Bill Hawes expanding fd sets. These make a big difference on small
machines
o Support for loading non versioned modules into versioned kernels

Things to note:

The module heirarchy is different. This will catch people who dont use
modprobe. It is now

soundcore------------sound----------drivers
lowlevel-------------^

This diff also doesnt fix the capabilities bug in 2.1.104 and module
loading proper so you will need to modprobe/insmod things.
