While the desired code comment style for networking my differ > from the rest of the kernel, both styles should be permitted. I was actually going to mention to you guys that I've been lackadasical about enforcing the comment style I want with the Intel drivers. That was a mistake, I should have enforced it strictly, as I do for the other drivers and the core networking code, from the beginning. And it's clearly a mistake if you feel the need to take out the very checkpatch working that's meant to enforce this comment style in all of the networking drivers and core. Do not revert this, follow it's advice instead.
