2.4.28-bs2 should contain the fix. If it doesn't, it's another story. But I'm 
almost sure it has.

If you recompiled the UML kernel, you *must* recompile the UML Wifi module.
And I'd add, that's your fault if you don't know that, sorry. And if you can 
recompile the Wifi module, you can use any 2.4 kernel.

Also, you can at least try if the binary solves the problem - we must first 
debug where the problem lies, then solve it.

So, if you say "neither 2.4.28-bs2 neither the binary for 2.6 hosts on Vincent 
Guffens's page work for me", it is one kind of problem, but I don't expect it 
(many people use successfully UML/2.4).

Your kind of problem is likely, instead "I've used 2.4.24 UML, but it doesn't 
work, and I have problems, but I have never tried versions which are known to 
contain the fix".

Now that I remember you've compiled the kernel on your own, the author says "a 
small patch was needed to make 2.4.24 work on 2.6 kernels". While you've used 
2.4.24-1um without further changes.

So, we are sure that kernel doesn't work on 2.6.

Again:
*) first solve the basic UML problem.
*) then you can go to solving it on a kernel supporting the module, which 
means using 2.4.28-bs2 and recompiling the module, or asking Vincent Guffens 
to give the patch he used to make 2.4.24 work on top of 2.6 hosts.

No, you've spent three weeks trying to run a 2.4.24-1um kernelwhich is known 
not to work on 2.6 hosts, on a 2.6 host.

And you've not run other kernels which contain the fixes because the damn 
module "doesn't work on other kernel versions". But it does. It suffices to 
recompile it.

> and i think that i will leave uml history!
If you used 2.4.28-bs2 you would have no problem with UML. Ergo, it's not a 
UML problem. Become more responsive to my suggestion and I'll become nicer 
again.
Sorry, but I'm getting tired. And above there are enough suggestion to 
progress on this.
