hello everyone:
I'm developing an embedded firewall router. For some reasons I
can only use uClinux 2.4 now. But the 2.6 kernel is more advanced and
there are more resources about the linux 2.6 netfilter than 2.4. My
product will upgrade to 2.6 next year. Do you think I SHOULD port the
linux 2.6 netfilter frame work back to linux 2.4 to have more resources
and support?

I wouldn't advise that, the changes between 2.4 and 2.6 are huge and
partially depend on changes in the remaining networking stack. Even
backporting features between minor versions is not always easy ..
