The most notable missing feature is kernel pre-emption which is supposed to be a good thing for routers; I have not tested it yet. Has anyone else got feedback on this feature? Maybe it's not worth fussing over? I would think that TSL left it out because it's too new a new feature and not needed for general applications. I have deleted the kernel package from my router so I can't dig through config-*, but lack of pre-emption (and missing serial port drivers in the early release) were enough to cause me to build a kernel for now. Switching from 2.2 with a 2.4 kernel to 3.0 with 2.6 has been mostly a big yawn, which is exactly the way I want it: it works better and there have been no strange unexpected arbitrary changes. Can't you see that on the dust jacket? In 36 pt type: "3.0 is big yawn".
