Does anyone here still have a "windtunnel" powermac (PowerMac3,6)
machine running Linux?  We need someone to test Jean Delvare's patch
to the therm_windtunnel driver.  The patch is at:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/26095/

I don't have a windtunnel machine myself - I have a PowerMac3,5 but
not a PowerMac3,6.

I might have one.  I'll pull the G4 I have out of it's box and check tomorrow.

Amazingly enough, I do.  It's running some crusty-arse gentoo install from
2005, so I need to install something newer on it.  Hopefully that goes smoothly
today...

Ok, installed 2.6.30-rc4 plus Jean's patch and it appears to do something
correctly:
