[LAU] >= 2.6.27 RT ETA?

And here is the next installment in the saga of trying to get Ingo RT going on my Asus EEE.

I successfully built and ran the 2.6.26.8-rt12 with the alsa_seq patch. It ran.

The problem is that neither the Ethernet (atl1e) or wireless (rt2860sta) work. So I pretty much had to reboot back out of it immediately.

It appears that the atl1e driver I need to get my Ethernet working, is not supported AT ALL in 2.6.26. The Debian Lenny kernel 2.6.26 has some kind of backport of all kinds of stuff from 2.6.27, including the atl1e I need.

I could try to reverse-engineer whatever it is that the Debian maintaners have done to get atl1e backported (it seems they've had to fix some bugs in the backported driver too), or, I could just try with 2.6.27 or higher and thus have the hardware support I need to make my netbook usable.

Only problem is, it doesn't look like there is any such thing as a 2.6.27 Ingo RT patch yet. His stuff stops at 2.6.26.

So now what? Any idea as to when there might be a nice stable RT kernel cocktail of the 2.6.27 or higher variety? Or am I going to have to try to figure out what portions of the Debian Lenny patches I have to apply to my Ingo-patched 2.6.26.8 kernel, and then try to get them to apply cleanly?
