Do not get ahead of your self there. You can upgrade the XTR to a 2.4
kernel, but it does not ship with one. Or at least did not at the
beginning of the year. I am not aware of any changes since then.

I would not use pre-compiled modules, but you should be able to get the
sources and compile modules for your raq. I would get the source for the
modules for a 2.2 kernel first, that may save you a headache later.
