Note if you (Jeff) can give me the output of "uname -a" I can quite easily
get the matching kernel sources and send Jean the i8k.c from that exact
version (assuming you're not running some homebrewn kernel).

In case you're wondering how, what I would do is go to koji (the Fedora
buildsystem):
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/

Search for kernel, go to the kernel you're running, download an install
the src.rpm, and do a "rpmbuild -bp kernel.spec", which will extract the
sources, apply all patches and then exit (it will do the %prep fase of
the spec file). And then I've an exploded source tree, with the exact
sources used to build your kernel.

Regards,

Hans
