Where to send patches?

I have some patches to modify the 2.6.18 kernel to support PCI-E versions of bcm43xx wireless cards,
and to interrogate the radio disable switch (if present) and light the associated LED. Both of these
are "features", not bug fixes, and will never be included in the 2.6.18 mainline kernel; however, I
think they would be useful for inclusion in the openSUSE 10.2 kernel. The first fix is included in
2.6.20 and the second will be in 2.6.21.

Where should I send the patch?

Hi Larry,

Probably you have to open feature request on
https://bugzilla.novell.com
and add patches as solution. They are delighted with requests that offer
solution :-)

The login that you have to create is used for few other Novell/openSUSE
services, like Build Service.

Have you looked for other communication options on
http://en.opensuse.org/Communicate
