   1 Description of kernel patches in patches:
   2
   3 000-linux_mips.patch
   4         This is the diff between vanilla linux-2.4.30 and linux-mips.org kernel
   5         (CVS tag 2_4_30 used). The kernel source from linux-mips.org CVS repository has
   6         newer drivers and code then vanilla linux-2.4.30 especially for the mips architecture.
   7
   8 001-bcm47xx.patch
   9         This is the broadcom specific code from asus (1941) GPL source tarball.
  10         There are many small patches included, so it works with linux 2.4.30 kernel.
  11         The original code is based on Linux 2.4.20.
  12
  13 002-wl_fix.patch
  14         The driver for the wireless lan chip on brcm47xx based routers is binary only.
  15         This means it depends on older data structures in the kernel. We backported some
  16         of the changes or changed some of the data structures to work with the binary modul.
  17         This is a really bad hack, but without source code, there is no better chance to get
  18         the driver working with newer kernels.
  19
  20 003-squashfs.patch
  21         Support for the squashfs filesystem. It has better compression ratio then cramfs.
  22
  23 004-squashfs_lzma.patch
  24         LZMA Addon patch from Oleg I. Vdovikin for the squashfs filesystem.
  25         Even better compression ratio.
