That would be a patch to the kernel source. If you're still new enough at this that you don't know what to do with it, you're in for a real, ummm, learning experience as they say.
I have to ask why you want so much to be working with 2.6? Is there something there you really need for your particular business situation?

I've downloaded the kernel-2.6.5 May 18, 2004 tar file. I have to admit I don't know what to do with this? Is this kernel source or executables??? >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/19/04 10:53AM >>> To the person who was having lcs problems with 2.6. Did you see this on the latest code drop on Developerworks? Description:lcs: LCS interface cannot be initialized. Symptom:System hangs during startup when initializing a LCS interface. Problem:When IP multicast addresses are registered, the lcs card's lock was used for synchronization. The scope of this lock is too large. Solution:Don't use card->lock. Introduced card->ipm_lock to synchronize multicast lists. Problem-ID:- Description:lcs: net_device reference counting problem. Symptom:Trying to do an rmmod lcs or ungrouping an lcs device results in a hanging session with messages "waiting for ... to become free" displayed. Problem:An in_dev_put was missing in multicast address list handling. Solution:Added the missing in_dev_put. Problem-ID:- Description:lcs: null-pointer dereference failure after unsuccessful set_online. Symptom:If setting an LCS card online fails, the next try to set the card online results in a null-pointer dereference. Problem:Card's IO buffers are freed if lcs_detect returns an error. Solution:Do not call lcs_cleanup_card in case of errors in lcs_new_device. This allows for trying to set an LCS card online multiple times. lcs_cleanup_card is called in lcs_remove_device which is sufficient for freeing allocated memory.
