Since the last posting, we have brought up the driver in a PPC system and fixed some endianness issues. As soon as I have some specific feedback, we can update the driver with these fixes as well. Please let me know as soon as the driver is in the staging area. Thanks.

Is there any reason for not applying this patch ? Do you want a patch against the latest git tree ? The overall consensus at this year's Linux Kernel Summit was that this driver still needs a lot of cleanup, so I'm gonna try an experiment and stick this in the staging tree (currently jgarzik/netdev-2.6.git#benet). Greg, do I need to do anything beyond simply putting it into the directory? Do I need to add some code to taint, perhaps?
