The whole point of my not rebasing net-2.6 is so that you can always use it as a base. With what you've giving me now I either have to: 1) Pull in Linus's tree to net-2.6, then pull from you. 2) Pull in directly from you to get it all. The whole point of my not touching or rebasing net-2.6 is so that everyonce can simply use it as a base and just keep working relative to it. If you have some need for upstream stuff outside networking (f.e. some ACPI bug prevents interrupts from working or there is some build failure), you can clone Linus's tree and pull net-2.6 and your driver bits into there for building and testing. Thanks for your consideration, I'm trying to show you mine by giving everyone a relatively stable tree in which all networking development can occur.
