It certainly makes sense for the these to be rolled into the 2.4 and 2.6
kernels.

So what the best route to do this? How do I let whoever know that the
atmel drivers WorksForMe?

I also think these should be put into whatever Kernel Fedora is rolling
for FC 2. Since this is RedHat's perogative, I'll happily email the person
doing this if (s)he isn't reading this list or missed my post.
