Take a look at Wolfgang Pfeiffer's answers from a few days ago with the thread named "applying patch". Basically, a lot of the patches on the kernel.org page are not meant to be applied to the 2.6.11.? realeases, just the vanilla 2.6.11. I made the exact same mistakes. Wolfgang's message has the URL's as to where to get the proper patches that apply cleanly. After applying those, you should be able to get the various new hardware patches to apply more cleanly.
