I have eventually got git going. I am not familiar with it but following a
tutorial I did
git clone rsync://kernel.ebshome.net/linux-2.6-emac.git
cd linux-2.6-emac
git checkout
I then ran find looking for a patches dir and could not find one.
Could you please tell me how to locate the emac_3-2.6-NN.diff files.
Cheers
Simon
