[ltp] Alan Cox 2.4 PnP BIOS kernels

[S. Anthony Sequeira]

Hi all,

Does anyone know whether Alan Cox is still patching the 2.4 kernels for
PnP BIOS.  The latest I have is 2.4.22-ac4.

Now that the 2.4 kernel is up 2.4.24, with no sign of the PnP BIOS in
them, I feel trapped at 2.4.22.  I do not wish to move to 2.6 until the
situation stabilises.

Is the PnP BIOS option absolutely necessary.  I see that Thomas Hood
uses
2.4.23 (when I last checked).

If I upgrade, will I be able to use tpctl and/or pcmcia-cs?

Cheers.
