Nothing relevant. It is pure 2.4.20 build from Herbert's kernle-source
package. But we use Woody's version of pcmcia-source because it is for
stable, and because the Sid version refuses to build anything if pcmcia
in kernel has been enabled.

I think I will workaround by removing the kernel versions from the
drivers tarball on boot-floppies. Any objections?
