Thanks for the patch.  Since the patch is for a kernel network driver,
please send your patch together with your description of the problem
and how you solved it to netdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.  For it to be accepted,
you will need to add a Signed-off-by: line as described in
Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

Thanks,
Paul.
