Please make your mailer work properly so that you can submit patches properly which work inline, just like every other developer does for the kernel. Also please format your Subject line properly, it must be of the form: [PATCH net] r8152: Fix broken RX checksums. The important parts are: 1) "[PATCH net]" This says that it is a patch, and that it is targetting the 'net' GIT tree specifically. 2) "r8152: " This indicates the "subsystem" that the patch specifically targets, in this case the r8152 driver. It must end with a colon character then a space. 3) "Fix broken RX checksums." Commit header lines and commit messages are proper English, therefore sentences should begin with a capitalized letter and end with a period. Thanks.
