Red Hat's gone that way for a long time.
You can currently download the kernel source , run xconfig to set 8 K stacks
and compile your own custom kernel. This article I think is talking about
dropping that option to use 8 K stacks. I wanted to know if Redhat will be
doing that. I am not against it, I just want to know how long I have to
decide what card I buy next that is going to be supported in the kernel long
term. There don't seem to be a lot of options. I don't see any DLINK,
LInksys, Netgear or Belkin wireless drivers listed in system-config-network.
