Subject: new sk98lin driver

Hi,

there's a new sk98lin driver available from
http://www.syskonnect.com/syskonnect/support/driver/zip/linux/install-7_09.tar.bz2
(now with ethtool support) dated Oct 20. It's not in 2.6.10-rc1, will it be included in 2.6.10?

Thanks,
Michael

I think Stephen Hemminger volunteered to split up the changes into
separate patches.

OK, that will probably take quite a while, the patch is large. Thanks for the info!

Subject: [PATCH] (0/23) sk98 driver fixes and enhancements

This is the first set of patches to merge some of the new SysKonnect
code with existing 2.6 driver and fix several bugs.

1: Remove explicit module refcounting (bug)
2: Make OnesHash table local constant.
3: proc print interface cleanup
4: Use netdev_priv
5: Use module_param_array instead of deprecated MODULE_PARM
6: Add netpoll controller support
7: Basic ethtool support
8: Ethtool support for LED blinking
9: Ethtool pause param support
10: Cleanup
11: Fix boards_found count
12: Add MODULE_VERSION
13: Handle ring full condition properly (bug)
14: Get rid of obfuscation irqreturn_t
15: Rearrange functions to match SysKonnect code
16: More efficient OsGetTime
17: Enable high dma and lockless transmit
18: reorganize pci_device table
19: Do initialization better
20: Ethtool tx & receive checksum efficiently
21: Tx ring management improvements
22: Cleanup the code under DIAG_SUPPORT
23: Eliminate Pnmi scratchpad common

To spare people's mailbox the individual patches won't go to LKML just to netdev.
