  thanks,

  anybody knows more detials about future of scyld drivers? Are they
going to be 'ported' to 2.4?

  are the issues minor (the struct members were renamed, structs were
reorganized a bit or something like that) or did the network interface
changed A LOT in kernel 2.4 (compared to 2.2)?

  (the 2.4 kernel driver for tulip does not work with accton en2242)

  <rant> I bought the hp pavilion n5170 specifically because everything
is supported under linux (not sure about modem but I don't use it) and
now I learned that X for savage (video card) might not be developed
further because of lack of support of VIA, now network card does not
work with 2.4 kernel...</rant>
