David,
Is this patch good enough for being accepted? Please let me know if any more
work has to be done on this. Also, I want to send the changes to the be2net
driver which would use this ethtool feature.
Any ETA for applying the patch to the git tree? I will schedule my driver patch according to that.
Thanks
-Ajit
