I posted a patch (check the archives) for DEC21x4x driver a while back.
You'll need that on the 2400.  I don't know if it's in Gabriel's patches
especially since he doesn't need it on his 2600.

The 2.2.5 vger stuff should work well with this board and the de4x5.c
patch, though it won't have OpenPIC support and you may need to modify
interrupt routing for PMC slots if necessary.  I use a local repository
with all this stuff that is has not yet been rolled in and I haven't had a
chance to sort out some patches.
