When we started supporting a lot of models and PCI cards.

That'd be really cool!  Could you also include (using the same version of
the kernel source) a kernel with the ADB patch so it would "just work" for
those of us with newer laptops?

None of this is a problem if you setenv real-base correctly.  I hate to say
it to someone who's experienced and contributing to macppc, but:  read the
FAQ.

There's also something to this effect in the INSTALL notes.
