Subject: acx-20060215 for etch

pci.c needed a fix for etch..

I added the includes for utsrelease.h as they were needed for the 
declaration of UTS_RELEASE in debian etch...

as the acx tarball downloaded into debian etch:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~

after researching and discovering these declarations had been put into 
separate includes.h for etch,
I entered pci.c and in the includes header added the line

#include <linux/utsrelease.h>

and it compiled beautifully.
I haven't touched source code for over 12 years.
Totally made my day.
