So what is your suggestion if I want to provide a patch that supports
some new hardware?

Obviously I want to get it added to a stable tree, so we can  use  it
in  a real project. And often enough the hardware is instable enough,
so I don't need the additional thrill of an instable Linux kernel.


I understand that 2.4 should get stable, but  there  is  a  huge  gap
between  2.4  and 2.5, so neither fits - well, actually 2.4 fits _my_
requirements.

What do you recommend to do?
