Re: Linux 2.4.28-pre4

[Brian Lazara <blazara@nvidia.com>]

At some point, can we get forcedeth.c updated in 2.4.x? We've taken the
latest from 2.6.8 and posted a patch against 2.4.27, but it isn't
getting picked up. See 
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0408.1/1523.html

Regards,
Brian
