Summary:                    zaptel 1.4.7.1 doesn't build against 2.4 kernel
Description: 
I'm trying to build zaptel 1.4.7.1 against a 2.4.26 kernel. Two problems:

1) wctdm24xxp/base.c includes linux/workqueue.h, which doesn't exist
2) wct4xxp/base.c references msleep(), which again, doesn't exist.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
With current Zaptel 1.4 branch, building against 2.4.36 (not 2.4.26, which
is ancient), the wctdm24xxp issue is gone because that driver no longer
builds in 2.4 builds (it uses functionality not offered in 2.4 kernels),
and the wct4xxp/base.c issue is gone because the 2.4.36 kernel *does* have
msleep(). I have made another small change to wct4xxp/vpm450m.h to make the
driver build on 2.4.36.

However, in the very near future it is likely that we will stop making
driver changes for builds on 2,4 kernels; as it is there are already three
drivers in the tree that will never build on 2,4 (because they use
workqueues and other 2.6-only features) and that is likely to become an
even larger problem as more drivers get enhanced and improved.
