Just curious to know, what extra features we > get from linux-mips kernels? Generally the MIPS code in kernel.org is simply lagging far behind linux-mips.org and is not tested at all on MIPS. There are also various bits in 2.4 that were necessary for some platforms but which for the one or other reason won't wasn't merged. Ralf
