Kernel release status

[Posted January 29, 2003 by corbet]

The current development kernel is still 2.5.59. Linus remains away from his keyboard.

The current stable kernel is 2.4.20; Marcelo released the fourth 2.4.21 prepatch on January 29. It includes some MTD driver fixes, a couple of netfilter bug fixes, the new IPMI driver, fixes for the ethernet information leakage vulnerability, an x86-64 update, and various other fixes and updates.

The latest prepatch from Alan Cox is 2.4.21-pre3-ac5; it has a few new IDE changes and a small set of fixes.

Kernel changes between versions

Posted Aug 1, 2003 9:42 UTC (Fri) by 123gwenda (guest, #13562) [Link]

I am working on porting a Token Ring Network Interface Card from Linux Kernel Version 2.4.18 to version 2.4.21.The Linux Kernel version 2.4.21 does not seem to be compatible with the Token Ring Network Interface card that I have used with kernel version 2.4.18.Are there any changes in the kernel entry points or kernel interfaces between the two versions?
I would be very grateful if you could reply to my query.

Thanking You,

Gwenda Mathew.
