That is probably the easiest way to do what you want, though. Otherwise,
if you miss the wlan drivers, check out:

http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/

Swsusp2, new ACPI and ibm-acpi are a few other I use, all from sf.net.

Vanilla kernel is as good as Linux gets, all patches just make it less
stable, secure (amount of testing). The right number of patches on a
production server is zero. This is for laptops of course, so I play with
is to my heart's content.
