It's hard to say, as we (as in: hurd developers) have not done it yet, so we don't know how much work that can mean. > 2.6.29.6 was released in July 2009, so almost three years ago. I know, as I said I took that version because it is what upstream DDE supports. Other versions could be tried, I just prefered to keep the safe bet of using the version that upstream DDE has well tested. > Did someone look if newer kernels applied any security updates to the > drivers? Linux 2.6.29 does not have a stable branch upstream, so it most probably misses such updates. Maybe we can give a try at 2.6.32, which is still being updated, and shouldn't be too far from 2.6.29 and thus mean little work.
