*NO*
The IDE code is the experimental code in 2.4-ac. It is _NOT_ the IDE code in 2.4 and its a lot less tested. I don't think it has any corruption bugs but it is most definitely not the base 2.4 code and has plenty of non corruption bugs (PCMCIA hang, taskfile write hang, irq blocking performance problems)
I use the 2.4-ac version of that code for day to day work. Thats about as good a guarantee as I can give.
