Why not before any howto,  you write a short message and patch with your 
modifications to your distribution. You can also contact the kernel 
mailing list directly but I think that your distribution will contact 
them if your information is relevant.

Please, let us recall that "It should work" (TM). If it doesn't work, 
then it is a hardware problem or it is a bug. If you went through all 
this trouble and were skilled enough to find a successful solution, 
don't let your work wasted in some obscure howto. Report the Fcuking 
Bug! (please)

Really, please,

	Manuel.
