That's something like it - asked Andrew via IRC on Saturday: Do we want to do the XAUI thing as one patch to avoid any breakage, and if so via whom? and haven't had a response. Normally arm-soc folk want patches touching arch/arm/boot/dts to go via their tree. So, until I know what to do, I can't proceed with this... and I've soo many outstanding net patches now that I'm losing track of where each patch I've sent out is. Sorry, I'm failing. -- RMK's Patch system: http://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line in suburbia: sync at 8.8Mbps down 630kbps up According to speedtest.net: 8.21Mbps down 510kbps up
