did these patches get incorporated into the mainline?  If so, what version?
given my previous successes with installing network manager from scratch
(usually ending in a reinstall), I am reluctant to touch anything that requires
patching.  I'm going to experiment with and inotify based solution.  That may be
a little less destructive to my mental and laptop well-being.

Thanks for the pointer though.
