I have eventually got git going. I am not familiar with it but following a 
tutorial I did

git clone rsync://kernel.ebshome.net/linux-2.6-emac.git
cd linux-2.6-emac
git checkout

I then ran find looking for a patches dir and could not find one.

Could you please tell me how to locate the emac_3-2.6-NN.diff files.

Cheers
