Hi,
Moving on with the 2.4.24-pre tree, here is 2.4.25-pre4.
It contains an ext2/3 update (mostly forward compatibility
related), the usual architecture updates (this time S390, PPC64/32,
SH), osst update, TG3 bugfixes, amongst others.
Some of the fixes listed in this changelog (the rtc fixes, the
IrDA “log buster” fix and the netfilter MASQUERADE oops) were
already in other -pre’s, they got removed and re added for
technical BK reasons.
