I read somewhere that 2.5 is an unstable kernel. I plan on using this to
support a very busy windows network. You seem like you know a lot about
how the kernel works, would the latest 2.5 properly support this kind of
situation?

Or better yet are there any good howtos or guides for beginner kernel
patching?

        The ipmode kernel patch applies cleanly to 2.4.20 but
together with the other patches I think there will be some
rejects, these weeks I don't have the time to test the ipmode patch
with other ones. Or may be the 2.5 version can be used in this
case :) It is created for 2.5 where the ebtables is already in.
As for the bridge-utils patch, it applies cleanly to 0.9.6
