Public bug reported: The 2.6.22 kernel has countless improvements for laptop users - tickless operation, the ability to use PowerTOP to help reduce power usage, and improvements in suspend-to-RAM support. Additionally, for Mac-Intel users, it integrates many more patches than are included in 2.6.20 as bundled with Feisty. As a MacBook user, I basically find use of the 2.6.22 kernel a necessity for proper use of my laptop in Linux, and currently end up having to compile my kernel from source or attempting to use Gutsy (or Gutsy repos on Feisty for the kernel). In fact, this is currently recommended on the MacBook wiki to resolve issues with certain MacBooks (granted, I in part edited it, but no one has yet to propose a better solution). Please backport the 2.6.22 kernel and related auxiliary packages (linux-restricted-modules, linux-headers, et al) from Gutsy to Feisty.
