The problem here is that sk98lin is not supported. If we add support for
newer cards to that driver, it implies that we're, well, supporting it.
Thats not to say that it won't happen (its not my call), but it
certainly sets bad precedent for other requested fixes to
kernel-unsupported, and is one of the reasons that RHEL 4 doesn't have a
kernel-unsupported.
