This is indeed an issue that I believe NetTraverse needs to address.
Although you should be able to configure your own 2.4 kernel with the
software they supply, you really shouldn't have to. They should keep an
online library of kernel binaries for all kernel issues for the distros they
support for all Win4Lin versions. That just can't be that difficult. Many
users in fact generate their own kernels. Perhaps as an alternative, they
could at least have an arrangement where whoever builds an unsupported
Win4Lin kernel could contribute it to an ftp archive. This kernel patch
thing is the one worst feature of Win4Lin (and VMWare is just as bad). Those
are my thoughts.
