This is great!  This should also help all the Pacbell DSL customers
that got free KNE110's.  Shawn, thanks for tracking this down.

Anyway, now the bad news: I'm running R4 on the machine in question.
When I try to compile pci-netif.c I get the following output:

pci-netif.c: In function `pci_find_capability':
pci-netif.c:342: `PCI_STATUS_CAP_LIST' undeclared (first use this function)
pci-netif.c:342: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
pci-netif.c:342: for each function it appears in.)
pci-netif.c:344: `PCI_CAPABILITY_LIST' undeclared (first use this function)
pci-netif.c: In function `acpi_wake':
pci-netif.c:364: `PCI_CAP_ID_PM' undeclared (first use this function)
pci-netif.c: In function `acpi_set_pwr_state':
pci-netif.c:396: `PCI_CAP_ID_PM' undeclared (first use this function)

The rest of the package seems to be designed to work with older
kernels (I'm using 2.1.130), so I suspect that this is a ppc specific
problem.  Does anyone have any ideas?

TIA,

cbb
