I, however, cannot get this patch to work. Here’s the output from the log:

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

No file to patch. Skipping patch.

Please do let me know whatever dumb thing it was I did that led to this unfortunate situation (PS, I’m kinda stoopid with kernel-patching). I’m using the patch provided by #4.

PS- d’oh, I am indeed kinda stoopid. #4 was not a complete patch. the patch in #1, with the last bit deleted, compiles fine, and seems to run without problems. <3
