This patch doesn't apply to 2.6.13-rc3: patching file drivers/net/forcedeth.c Hunk #1 FAILED at 87. Hunk #2 FAILED at 100. Hunk #3 FAILED at 135. Hunk #4 succeeded at 145 (offset -3 lines). Hunk #5 succeeded at 295 (offset -3 lines). Hunk #6 succeeded at 305 (offset -3 lines). Hunk #7 succeeded at 995 (offset -20 lines). Hunk #8 succeeded at 1502 (offset -87 lines). Hunk #9 succeeded at 2112 (offset -133 lines). Hunk #10 FAILED at 2221. 4 out of 10 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file drivers/net/forcedeth.c.rej I think this is because 2.6.13-rc3 has forcedeth 0.35. I can't find the patch for 0.35 --> 0.36. (Is this when the netdev archives were in limbo?) I found the patch for 0.36 --> 0.37 here : http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=112101962422678&w=2 Are the earlier changes a prerequisite, or can I just fix the TX handler rejects manually? Thanks, Daniel
