    A while back (a few months ago) a couple of developers/hams (Ralf and others)
    mentioned that work needed to be done in the 2.5 linux kernel due to changes
    (I believe relating cli()/sti() plus other things).

    Has there been any progress? There appears to be some patches included
    in 2.5.37 from Ralf and David Miller. Does include all the changes we
    _need_ to make? (that is for when cli()/sti() and such calls go away)

    I guess I am asking what needs to be done before users can "safely" use
    2.5.x kernels for amateur radio stuff.

    Should the http://sourceforge.net/projects/ax25 Bug tracking, Support
    Requests / Patches / Feature Requires be used for the AX.25 (et all)
    kernel as well as the userland libraries, tools, and apps?

    Oh, and can a non-kernel programmer help? (I'm not familiar with kernel
    programming, but I can program, can I be of assistance?)

    Thanks,
