Could we please do whatever is needed to get this blessed and merged? This is such a common problem on such a common driver that I would suggest that we want this in 2.6.18.x as well. At least, I'd expect distributors to ship this fix (they're nuts if they don't) and so it makes sense to deliver it from kernel.org. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
