   The patch and C-file won't work with a 2.4 Kernel out of the box.   
   I already started porting the sanremo.c to 2.4, but it's not final yet, I have   
   no patch and corrupted my 2.4 Linux partition >.<   
   I can send it to you for further testing. It's not fully cleaned up, but   
   should compile and give a connection.   
      
   Interestingly, the 2.4 Kernel seems to tackle some performance issues: It now   
   seems to hand the network subsystem buffers straight down to the card for DMA.   
   Seems to only profit in one direction, and degrade in the other.   
      
   This is what I measured on an 8595 with Pentium 200, Kernel 2.2:

   And on the same system with a Kernel 2.4:
