It very much is for new product development. It's a long time that I've seen any 2.4-based development being started for new MIPS platforms. I basically get zero feedback for 2.4. The last patch submitted for 2.4 was on 2006-06-15 by Chris Dearman btw. Everything else since was just backported fixes from newer kernels and I've given up on that give the overwhelming feedback I keep receiving for 2.4. > I have a port of the QEMU target for Linux 2.4.34.4 (latest 2.4 kernel > on linux-mips.org), with NE2000 card working (in both BE and LE modes). > Still rough at the edges, but it works on stock qemu-0.9.0 with -M mips.

I do take Linux 2.4 patches provided they don't destabilize the 2.4 branch. The few remaining user expect stability, not a Penguin action movie ;-) But aside of that, same submission guidelines as for 2.6. Cheers, Ralf
