+Description of kernel patches:
+
+
+generic/
+       Generic patches for vanilla Linux kernel
+
+000-linux_mips.patch
+       This is the diff between vanilla linux-2.4.32 and linux-mips.org kernel
+       (CVS tag 2_4_32-rc1 used). The kernel source from linux-mips.org CVS repository has
+       newer drivers and code then vanilla linux-2.4.32 especially for the mips architecture.
+
+001-squashfs.patch
+       Support for the squashfs filesystem. It has better compression ratio then cramfs.
+
+002-squashfs_lzma.patch
+       LZMA Addon patch from Oleg I. Vdovikin for the squashfs filesystem. 
+       Even better compression ratio. 
+
+003-jffs2_compression.patch
+       Compression for jffs2 filesystem.
+
+004-exec_pagesize.patch
+
+005-mtd_flashtypes.patch
+       Additional mtd drivers for flash chips
+
+100-ebtables.patch
+       Filtering packets on ethernet layer. See http://ebtables.sf.net
+
+101-netfilter_ipp2p.patch
+       Netfilter ipp2p match module (matches traffic of most P2P networks)
+
+102-netfilter_layer7.patch
+
+103-netfilter_nat_pptp.patch
+       NAT support for PPTP and GRE
+
+104-netfilter_maxconn.patch
+
+105-netfilter_TTL.patch
+       Netfilter target for manipulating the TTL of IP packets
+
+106-mppe_mppc.patch
+       Microsoft PPP Encryption/Compression
+
+107-cifs.patch
+       CIFS (Common Internet File System) module.
+
+108-optional_aout_support.patch
+
+109-ipsec_nat_traversal.patch
+       Openswan patch for allowing IPSec through NAT
+
+110-netdev_random_core.patch
+       Support for gathering entropy from network devices for /dev/random
+
+200-i4l.patch
+
+201-hfc_usb_backport.patch
+
+202-pl2303_backport.patch
+
+203-hfsplus_fix.patch
+
+204-net_b44.patch
+       Support for the BCM47xx chipset in the b44 driver
+
+206-gcc_3.4_fixes.patch
+       mips specific gcc 3.4 fixes
+
+207-gcc_4.0_fixes.patch
+       gcc 4.0 fixes
+
+
+brcm/
+       Broadcom specific patches
+
+001-bcm47xx.patch
+       This is the broadcom specific code from asus (1941) GPL source tarball. 
+       There are many small patches included, so it works with linux 2.4.32 kernel. 
+       The original code is based on Linux 2.4.20.
+
+002-wl_fix.patch
+       The driver for the wireless lan chip on brcm47xx based routers is binary only. 
+       This means it depends on older data structures in the kernel. We backported some
+       of the changes or changed some of the data structures to work with the binary modul. 
+       This is a really bad hack, but without source code, there is no better chance to get
+       the driver working with newer kernels.
+
+003-bcm47xx_cache_fixes.patch
+
+
+ar7/
+       TI AR7 specific patches
+
+000-ar7_support.patch
+
+001-flash_map.patch
