Need a supported distro using kernel 2.6.11 or earlier

[gobbo]

I'm trying to get some WAN simulation software called Nistnet to work, sadly it's only been tested on kernels up to 2.6.11 and nothing after this.

Does anyone know of any currently supported distros that use this kernel version (or earlier) that I can try?

I've tried Ubuntu 4.1, but it's no longer supported so can't get any compilers for it etc. Got Fedora Core 4 and CentOS 4 coming down at the moment to try but looking for others too.

Cheers!

Damn, was hoping for a better solution than that!

I'll try the older Fedora 4 and CentOS 4.0 distros before I get into compiling my own kernels though!

Perfectly possible to get Nistnet working on current kernels
Try the instructions on this page:

Tried, and failed. Patch errors out on file #9, then it turns out rtc isn't part of the kernel i'm using!

Sorted it, managed to get it working under Slackware 11.0 using kernel 2.4.33
