Be aware that some hardware is not yet supported in .deb packages for
the 2.6 kernels. I have a Soyo VIA 686 mainboard that the lm-sensors
modules for 2.4 includes the ddcmon module that is needed to read the
CPU and system temp. The lmsensors modules in the 2.6 kernel-image
package does not yet have this module.
I've not yet tried a 2.6 kernel on this laptop as the Lucent modem
folks have yet to release a .deb package for ltmodem on 2.6. So, I'm
in wait and see mode.
