Unfortunately, I get bitten that way with a couple of 2.4.2 bugs that
Alan's fixed already with my network card. Without recent -ac's, my nic
pukes on about 20% of the traffic you send through it. I could try to
backport the current natsemi driver, but I'm a little bit leery of trying
to backport those memory and filesystem fixes as kernel code is beyond my
understanding for the most part.

<jt> should a bug be marked critical if it only affects one arch?
<james-workaway> jt: rc for that arch maybe, but those kind of arch
specific bugs are rare...
<jt> not when it's caused by a bug in gcc
<doogie> jt: get gcc removed from that arch. :)
