Hi David,

looks like we'll need to use the Octeon Ethernet driver from SDK 2.0
or later in our system, for performance reasons. We plan to use 2.6.39,
so we can not directly use the SDK driver.

Do you (or someone else) have plans to port it to the upstream kernel,
or do you know if such a port exists ?

Thanks,
Guenter
