I had to patch and recompile the kernel, but I had other things to patch anyway. There are instructions on the Netraverse site that work pretty well. Be sure to configure grub so you can boot both the old and the new kernel, and set those version numbers! I remember there were some issues of the right patch versus the almost right patch, but no details. My Win4Lin source directory (I made a separate one, of course) is: /usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.W4L and the patch files I used are called mki-adapter_1_2_9.patch and Kernel-Win4Lin3-Fedora1.0_2.4.22.12115.patch . I hope that helps. Recompiling the kernel is scary until you do it once or twice. Then it is merely annoying, coupled with the perverse satisfaction that "da man" doesn't want you to be able to recompile kernels. So do it! Perhaps one of the things that belongs in an FC1 FAQ are the instructions for figuring out which flavor of kernel off the distro disk you are running, then building a .config file that exactly reconstructs an identical kernel. A tiny step to be sure, but being able to duplicate the kernel would be a great first step for cautious newbies learning to patch kernels.
