As discussed on this list already, 2.6.24 from Debian does not work on
some hardware (e.g. the bnx2 module is missing).

I'm not sure if it's better to skip 2.6.24 and wait for 2.6.25 with
these drivers re-enabled again, or to just upload 2.6.24 and let people
run into trouble because network doesn't work after booting 2.6.24.

Until there's a final decision, 2.6.24-4~bpo40+1 is available from here:
