So what is your suggestion if I want to provide a patch that supports some new hardware? Obviously I want to get it added to a stable tree, so we can use it in a real project. And often enough the hardware is instable enough, so I don't need the additional thrill of an instable Linux kernel. I understand that 2.4 should get stable, but there is a huge gap between 2.4 and 2.5, so neither fits - well, actually 2.4 fits _my_ requirements. What do you recommend to do?
