"Marcelo released a fourth 2.4.22 release candidate to fix "a few 
annoying bugs;" then put out the real 2.4.22 kernel shortly thereafter.
The biggest changes to be found in 2.4.22 for most people will be the
big ACPI, ia64, and AIC7xxx updates and the inclusion of the crypto API,
but there is a great deal of other work in there as well."

Will the inclusion of crypto API affect us any?  Is that the support 
for FreeS/WAN so kernel patches are no longer needed for IPSEC?

Yes, but FreeS/WAN needs to support this first.
