[ltp] mwave: kernel-patch 2.4.6 doesn't compile

[linux-thinkpad@www.bm-soft.com]

Which patch??  The 2.4.6-20010718 patch??  If not grab it..  It shouldn't
have that problem...

Also...  You don't have to have the patch unless you wish to build it into
the kernel proper..  The mwavem dist will build the driver as a module for
you...
