With Alan Cox [interview] planning to take a year off [story], the fate of his -ac kernel tree is up in the air. Alan's earlier comment about this was:

"I'm not sure what to do about the -ac patch. Most of the remaining stuff is "pending Marcelo" for 2.4 mainstream, but not the O(1) scheduler and some of the odder cool stuff (like the morse bits). As 2.6 becomes relevant 2.4-ac basically becomes a fixed collection of add-ons that aren't mainstream anyway. And of course there are other people keeping patch sets in the same way nowdays."

Following the recent release of a new 2.4 kernel [forum], Bernhard Rosenkraenzer offered a port of -ac for the new 2.4.22 kernel called -pac, or 'ported -ac', saying, "I'll keep syncing changes that make sense, and adding other stuff [like updated ACPI patches etc.] for a while [at least until we're ready to move to 2.6 fulltime]."

Since Alan is no longer around to maintain the -ac series, I've ported the 
latest -ac patch to 2.4.22.

It can be downloaded at
http://www.arklinux.org/~bero/kernel/patch-2.4.22-pac1.bz2

[pac is short for "Ported -ac"].

I'll keep syncing changes that make sense, and adding other stuff [like 
updated ACPI patches etc.] for a while [at least until we're ready to move 
to 2.6 fulltime].

Yes, please do. I currently don't have the time to look into all patches 
posted on linux-kernel.

Thank you for your effort.  What I would like to see, in addition to the
patch itself, is the changelog for the patch.

TIA,

John

Not much of a changelog necessary for the first release:

- Port 2.4.22-rc2-ac3 changes to apply to 2.4.22 (me)
