Ask John Linville...  IIRC they caused problems?

Actually, the second one was there to correct the first one.
(Only PART of the first patch was undone by the second one.)

They are additive, so they should be applied in the order above.
If you'd prefer, I could gen-up a single patch?

Thanks,

John

I have two machines with 3c905's (Boomerang series) running with
Linville's 3 patches without any problems for more than 10 days I
think. But that's only me.

I'm aware of that, thanks.

Well, overall, if the netdev-2.4 queue is missing patches, please resend 
them.  one or many patches, doesn't matter.
