I'm running the Networker client on plenty of 2.6 kernel systems, and
haven't had a problem backing up or restoring yet (that I could blame
the kernels, anyway.)

The hesitation is that EMC/Legato hasn't blessed the 2.6 kernels for the
Networker server.  Has anyone heard any leaks on when they're going to
support that?
