I spoke too soon earlier, ndiswrapper builds and loads against current
2.6.24-rc3. Vmware and proprietary VPN software probably do not. Once again I don't
give a damn, but the enterprise distro vendors certainly care.

Enterprise distro vendors ship kernels from the 2.6.19 era, so I don't
see why they care.

They don't care *now*. They will care when they try to rev forward from .19.

Not that they'll care a *lot* - it took *me* all of about an hour to get VMware
Server 1.0.4 working under -rc3-mm2. Probably will take an enterprise distro
4-5 hours, 30 mins for the port and 4 1/2 hours for the paperwork. :)
