Whats in 2.0.23ac#2 thats not in 2.0.24
1. SMP irq forwarding, this gives BIG performance/latency improvements with Linux/SMP, but its not exactly a bug fix.
2. Linus version of the socket change uses int not __u32. I'll submit that as a patch again to use __u32 for the benefit of the folks trying to get the Linux stack running on a certain 16bit OS
3. Several bugs that Linus and others fixed between 2.0.23/2.0.24
Thats it.. so unless you want to play with some of the fun SMP stuff, use 2.0.24. My next patch will be 2.0.24ac#1 and will just be whatever patches I send to Linus for 2.0.25, and the SMP improvements for those who need good SMP interrupt latency etc.
