I believe MVL are working on 2.6, but it's a lot of work; they support a
stack of different boards.

BTW I'm not at all convinced that 2.6 has been "hardened" enough yet for
production purposes. There are reports of performance problems on the
most recent release of the kernel source. I'd rather stick with a nice,
stable 2.4 kernel until that gets sorted.
