As you probably know, kernel 2.6.20 was released on Sunday (As Linus said "A 
Super Kernel for the
American Football Super Bowl Sunday. - I paraphrased a little.). For most 
people, that version will
run without problems other than the usual ones. There are, however, some 
changes that may be needed
for certain hardware and/or conditions. The recent changes/bug fixes that will 
not appear until
2.6.21 are:

1. The fix for DMA with > 1 GB RAM.
2. The code change to operate the radio LED for systems with a switch.
3. The changes to get proper scaling for rates and frequencies in iwlist.
4. The fix for the oops that occurs in hwrng_unregister on resuming. By the 
definitions used to
control the changes in a stable release, this is a BUG and should be fixed in 
2.6.20.1.

If you wish to patch your source for all of the above, you should download
ftp://lwfinger.dynalias.org/patches/2.6.20_combined.
