In Reply to: [gentoo-hardened] Cyclone Linux Drivers by Mansour Moufid
1 I only scanned them briefly but afaict these drivers are for 2.4.x kernels,
2 were first released on 2007-06-29 with no updates since and require Cyclone C
3 (not in portage). This qualifies them as unsupportable and therefore will
4 not be integrated into the Hardened Gentoo 2.6 kernel. Thanks for your
5 inquiry.
