[STATUS 2.5] January 8, 2002

[Guillaume Boissiere]

Of note this week the merge of lm_sensors (drivers for health monitoring 
hardware) and support for AGP 3.0.  
See http://www.kernelnewbies.org/status/ for details.

Also, many more bugs have been entered in bugzilla, mostly compile problems 
for broken drivers (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/)
