BTW, there are two regression fixes for forcedeth: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121894389018584&w=4 http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121917167232014&w=4 that fix the regressions tracked as: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11358 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11361 respectively and both are more than 2 weeks old now. Is there any chance to push them upstream or is there anything wrong with them? Thanks, Rafael
