"Marcelo released a fourth 2.4.22 release candidate to fix "a few annoying
bugs;" then put out the real 2.4.22 kernel shortly thereafter. The biggest
changes to be found in 2.4.22 for most people will be the big ACPI, ia64, and
AIC7xxx updates and the inclusion of the crypto API, but there is a great deal
of other work in there as well."

ACPI! ACPI! ACPI!  Laptop Linux users rejoice!

And the Cyrpto API?!  Does this mean ipSec support won't suck?  PPTP (i.e
MPPE-128 can be built in)?  Anyone know the specific implications of the Crypto API?
