Does BL 3.40 use 1.1.0-pre1

No. It uses 1.01, which is more stable.

and if so will there be a BL3.41 with 1.1.0?

My guess is that there will not be one.

If not, do you want to compile uclibc-static busybox 1.1.0 for us?

Maybe. I would want to apply some bugfix patches first. Do you
want to compile it? busybox is easy to compile: just download
and unpack it in the uclibc root, chroot and read the directions
in INSTALL (essentially, make menuconfig, then make and you
will get a working busybox binary). Don't forget to answer Y to
static compilation if you want to use it on BL3.

I will think about this. I have never used menuconfig, just config - is it very different?

Or uclibc-dynamic busybox, after which you can compile uclibc-dynamic
other things that we can use after adding uclibc, such as Mplayer and
lynx when the next versions come out.

First I would need to get uclibc-dynamic working with Linux 2.2,
unless everyone wants to upgrade to the (less stable) 2.4.
mplayer might not work right with uclibc-dynamic, but I haven't
tested it yet.

What keeps it from working with 2.2?
I don't have pcmcia modules for 2.4, do you? I could not even get 2.2.26 working right with my pcmcia network card.
