Never change a running system :)

That is fine to hear that someone is testing the driver with a 2.4 kernel. I
want to say that in the main tree, I will not remove 2.4 and old 2.6 stuff,
but around the end of this year I will start a repository for kernel inclusion.
So in this new repository 2.4 and old 2.6 support will gets removed, but I
will announce this step here at the ml.
have a nice day
