yes, publish them somewhere or here on the list.

I see we are making the same job!

I want absolutly IPv6, but the size of the ipv6.o module is too huge, so
I've just patched busybox so as to win some kbytes for the 1MB flash of
the wl11000.

I think if Keith Smith want to setup a public CVS, it could be great to
have a central place to put patches. The main problem is to manage the
branches, but it's better to have all in a central place.

I've subscribed to busybox-list for a long time, and with the stable
version coming to relase, there is a lot of discussion on the list...

A friend of mine is hacking the dlink AP, I think we will have a version
of linuxap running on it very soon...
