kernel26-nx for compaq nx6310

Greetings,

Even though I'll probably break a rule with posting a maybe useless AUR package to the community, I've decided to try, anyway, cause I want to contribute to Arch Linux and I don't want to just take away and give nothing back.
I hope there'll be people who own the same laptop as me, since this kernel PKGBUILD is meant especially for the HP Compaq nx6310 ey588es, with the following specifications (stock):

MB Socket 478
CPU Intel Celeron M 430 @1.7GHz (1729MHz)
256MBRAM (upgradable up to 2GBRAM) DDR2 533MHz
~60GB HDD
1024x768 XGA 15" display
Ethernet BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02)
WLAN BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)

A more detailed view on the hardware is provided below:

The PKGBUILD is brought up with an official, tuxonice and zen patchsets. First two are enabled by default. (Please see the PKGBUILD).
The config file is taylored for this laptop, so it will only work on it, since most of the drivers that are not needed for it are ripped out (I believe there's many stuff I still need to take out, but that's quite a job, so it'll take some time)(btw, firmware drivers are turned off by default, edit config or use some UI).
Refer to the kernel26-nx AUR and the files in it for further details.

Thank you.
