Well, all I can say is that we still use the old patch-2.4.29-ns1000
released on 20050209 and we use it with 2.4.34 right now without any
problem (other than the smbfs unix extensions are broken on 2.4.34).

We are compiling it on a Debian Sarge PowerPC based machine, not cross
compiling, so I don't know if cross compiling should work or not. We are
compiling with gcc 2.95 as the code we have on the NetworkStation patch
doesn't work with more recent compilers.

In case it might help, our kernel is 3321323 bytes in length and it
carries inside an initrd of 2523136 bytes.

If you are not able to build a kernel and all you want me to build for yo=
u
a standard 2.4.34 kernel send me the config file and I'll compile it for
you.
