But in my last test if say y to usb8xxx.ko instead of making it as module
will crash the OLPC at boot time.
IMO: we should make usb8xxx to work under kernel 2.4 and in wider
environment.
Good God! Why would you want to backport any OLPC kernel module to 2.4?
I'm fairly certain you'd be maintaining it outside the normal circles,
because I doubt that Marcelo would be taking 2.4 patches to libertas
git; I'd certainly recommend against taking them. 2.4 is a dead-end,
and not just for OLPC...

Going to kernel 2.4 is not backward but an alternative.
I like feature to cat /proc/pci to know hardwares.
One good thing on 2.4 is fast burning CD using ide-scsi
While 2.6 can damage the CD-RW.
When I burn CD I always reboot to 2.4 every time.
We can live happily with all s/w w/o need to discriminate them.
At this moment 2.4 still active and realease new versions everyday.
The number 2.6 did not means it was newer version.
