When will DSL move to the 2.6 kernel series?

I know, and it works great.

I need the 2.6 kernel because the 2.4 will not support my network card.

The 2.6 kernel is, as I understand it, one of the main reasons DSL-N was created. My guess is that DSL will never go beyond 2.4 unless either there is some major reduction in the size of future kernels & modules, or it is decided to remove some large parts of the DSL base.
