TTBOMK, request_firmware is fine for 2.4 as of 2.4.23: http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0308.3/0215.html http://lwn.net/Articles/47593/ > Herbert has talked about removing drivers from 2.2 as well I think. 2.2 kernels in sarge are: m68k: 2.2.25 (6 variants) powerpc: 2.2.10 for apus sparc: 2.2.20 (4 variants: sun4cdm, sun4dm-smp, sun4u, sun4u-smp) The m68k variants have corresponding 2.4.25 variants. Ditto powerpc. The sparc images don't have corresponding 2.4.x based variants, afaics.
