I don't see any more technical problems with your patches. You still ne= ed to proper patch description and Signed-off-by: line like it is describe= d in Documentation/SubmittingPatches. You can add an 'Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann ' line to the fo= ur patches you posted last if you like. > Usually submitted/reviewed patches to netdev does not not always > guarantee they will be acccepted/signed-off. > Any advice would be useful I'm not that familiar with the process for non-driver patches for netde= v (nor for device drivers as it seems ;-)), but my understanding is that = you=20 should address those to Jeff Garzik as well, asking for inclusion in th= e netdev-2.6 git tree in your introductory '[PATCH 0/4]' mail. Since the official merge window for 2.6.16 is now over (2.6.16-rc1 has = been released), it may have to wait for 2.6.17 to become part of the mainlin= e kernel, that probably depends on Jeffs judgement. I would think it can still go in since it is a bug fix for the executio= n of 32 bit programs using x25 ioctls, but it's clearly not my decision ;-). Arnd <><
