There are no e1000 changes in -mm (from you), I don't believe. git-e1000 has been in permadrop mode since 2.6.22-rc1-mm1 due to a huge number of git rejects/conflicts. Is git://lost.foo-projects.org/~ahkok/git/netdev-2.6#mm the correct URL? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
