If you get "a patch" it almost certainly won't build because the e1000
driver in 2.4.20-preX depends upon the NAPI stuff we added to the
2.4.x tree

2.4.20-pre5 is tons more stable than 2.4.19 anyways :-)

If you're using the bonding driver, for one this.
It OOPS's in 2.4.19

There are other critical fixes in 2.4.20-preX as well.

Why is this news?  Stop the presses!  2.4.20-preX has more fixes than
2.4.19, how astonishing!
