Why don't you just try compiling from source.
You can get the 2.4.6 from http://www.kernel.org
I did this yesterday with 2.4.6 because I wanted to make a bridge from
two NICs and it worked OK. Make you chose the right options in make
config or make xconfig. I for one, cannot compile or if compilation is
successful - cannot boot if I choose the new Adaptec SCSI AIC7XXX
driver - have to use the old one.
Good luck!
Kind Regards,
Orlin
