I don't think that is the question. The existing 4.14.174 kernel
package that we have available also crashes.

The approach I have taken with 2.8 is to hand-build a LinuxCNC package
for the supplied RTAI kernel, for those that want it.

I have built an RTAI-5.3 + Linux-image-4.19.152 package (several times
now) but it is no good for my particular machine as my USB Wifi dongle
does not seem to work with it. (Despite the RaLink devices being
enabled in the config)
In fact it seems to not really want to recognise any USB-Wifi dongles
(I have quite a collection)

The same device _does_ work with the 4.14.174-rtai kernel (from last April)
