Obviously you are missing the copyright updates at the top of the driver, which clearly indicate (copyright 199X-200X Donald Becker), and the changelog updates, which say "merge <this> change from Donald Becker's tulip.c." What else do you want? Please tell me, I am more than happy to provide. Jeff - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
