Do you think/know if it will?
Have you checked whether 2.4.9-31 does? They tend to backport drivers when they put out newer kernels. If it *does*, you should be able to just use the updated boot.img (or bootnet.img or whatever) from redhat's updates, along with their update disks for new drivers, without building a whole new kernel. -- Benjamin Reed a.k.a.
