Hi Thanks for the report. Yes 2.6.17 is not supported, because 2.6.18 is the version that will be shipped in etch.
I'll contact upstream about this issue. The kernel team have moved to 2.6.18.3 according to the changelog in http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/linux-2.6/news/20061123T193153Z.html Kir, Kiril or Vasily: Can you help me to get a applyable version of the kernel patch?
