It has come to my attention that there is no entry in the kernel MAINTAINERS
file for the D-Link Gigabit Ethernet Driver (and possibly no maintainer).
So, I have created a patch for that file with an entry for the driver status
as Orphaned.

Edward Peng <edward_peng@alphanetworks.com> is the current maintainer.
The 2.4 kernel already has latest release, and 'I think' he is working
on the 2.6 driver.

Thank you for the correction. However my point remains the same, there is no
entry in the MAINTAINERS file for the dl2k driver. So, now it should look
something like this:

Also, his e-mail address in the dl2k driver needs to be updated, as the one
currently in the driver (edward_peng@dlink.com.tw) bounces.
Thanks,
Jon
