I've attached a tarball with some changes that should fix this msleep issue on kernel version < 2.6.7. It will only fix build-2.6, but I belive that is acceptable, hmm? Should there be any other compatability problems exept for this msleep thingy, feel free to yell :) I've not bothered to test it beyond compilation, because I don't want to downgrade the kernel in my server box.
