I decided to try it because of this. My test machine was a Compaq Presario 12XL325, PIII-650, RedHat 8.0 with updates. The cardbus bridge is listed as a TI PCI1410 controller. I've been doing daily bk pulls and compiles on this machine for some time with no problems noted on the resulting kernel. On the cardbus interface I have an SMC wireless NIC as modules.
I downloaded the mm-6 patch and a pristine 2.5.64 tarball. After applying the patch I compiled with the standard configuration I've been using all along. No problems were noted during the compile cycle. During bootup the system locked up at the point where it did a modprobe uhci-hcd for the USB controller. Nothing of interest was noted in the log. I rebooted with nousb in the command line and got a good boot. After working with this kernel for awhile I don't see anything out of the ordainary except that on a 2.5.64-bk kernel I get 330 Kbytes per second download speed whereas with mm6 I get 280 Kbytes per second. Several runs show this is fairly consistent, with results within one or two percent.
