I do not even know what a Marvell gigabyte lan thingy is but if you read the Fedora Charter you will see that getting it upstream is the correct thing to do. The reasoning for this is that if it is not good enough to be upstream then why should it be in the Fedora kernels? To me, your attitide sounds ridiculous, but that is just me, I suppose. Oh and one more thing, any possibility you could stop top posting and trim your responses? Regards, Tom
