2.4.5 is mindbogglingly obsolete. For the -ac patches you should check the changelogs. Whats useful in stuff from time gone by is in the main tree, whats not you dont want. Right now thats 2.4.18-ac3 for stable stuff, and 2.4.19pre5-ac3 (pre7-ac1 soon) for folks who want to run a lunatic mix of i2o, ide and software suspend debug code 8)
