Subject: [PATCH] [NETDEV] [000] dmfe : fix bugs and add features

Hello,

Before some time I decided to fix suspend/resume on my Davicom network card.
During development I also fixed couple of bugs and added support for link detection and WOL
Note : 2.6.20 already has support for link detection , but it is broken when card has external PHY
, like mine.

So here it goes:

[PATCH] [NET] [001] dmfe : trivial/spelling fixes
[PATCH] [NET] [002] dmfe : Fix possible oops
[PATCH] [NET] [003] dmfe : fix link detection
[PATCH] [NET] [004] dmfe : Add suspend/resume support
[PATCH] [NET] [005] dmfe : Add support for wake-on-lan

What about the above report?

I would rather fix this first, before applying more patches on top of a
problematic patch...

My patch wasn't implementing anything actually: it was just making the
existing-since-long link detection code available in ethtools.
