Doesn't look like (for whatever reason) 2.6.18-rc5 had his patches in  
it, as there's still the updated USB core stuff as well as i2c/PCI  
fixes that haven't been migrated into the kernel yet at:

It's about a 1.1Mb patch, mainly geared towards fixing a number of USB  
issues as well as a few more drivers (including the adutux drive that  
I require).
