Bill did this with the assumption that I would take them through my driver-core tree, as I asked that he do this work. The 000 message said that, but that wasn't sent out to all of the recipients, so I can understand how you didn't see this. Also, I was the only one that got all 500 emails, everyone else should have only seen a small quantity. As you object to these, that's fine, I'll not apply anything to my treethat touches the drivers/net/ or net/ tree at this point in time, is that ok? But the end goal is to drop CONFIG_HOTPLUG entirely, and these __dev* markings, as they don't do anything anymore. thanks, greg k-h
