Linux 2.4.28-pre4

[Marcelo Tosatti <marcelo.tosatti@cyclades.com>]

Hi,

Here goes 2.4.28-pre4...

It contains a number of driver updates (pcnet, e1000, gdth, prism54),
a network update from David, few more gcc3.4 warning fixes.

I'm happy that the number of updates is small, -pre3
has been released more than one month ago.

>From now on can now change only what is necessary and let 
the 2.4 tree in peace :)
