Yes, it sure does.

Edit pkt_sched.h and change from JIFFIES to CPU.  Before you recompile
the kernel, make config and make sure the CPU setting is higher than
CONFIG_M486 or you'll get an error message.  If you have any of the
schedule stuff (CONFIG_NET_SCH_blah) as modules (you do):

make (YourFavoriteFlavorOf)config   (checking/changing - if needed - the
CPU)
make clean ; make dep ; make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install

Those "make"s are broken up like that for a reason.  Just Do It, please.

If you did not have to change the CPU type, you can just reload the
ingress module:
modprobe -r sch_ingress
modprobe sch_ingress

and test the setup.  If you did change the CPU type, you should install
your new kernel, run lilo and reboot using the new kernel.
