From: Linus Torvalds torvalds@transmeta.com
To: Kernel Mailing List linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org
Subject: 2.4.2-pre1
 
Mainly a number of small details and some driver updates. The socket
datagram handling one is important, and has already been posted separately
here on linux-kernel. The VIA driver update is rather important if you
have one of the newer VIA chipsets.
