Since they mix net/* and drivers/net/*, I would actually prefer that you merge 100% of the patchset, once the patchset is ok with you. Also, my tendency is to apply patches 1-8, and not apply patch 9 just yet. Even though patch 9 is a fix, those specific areas of code, I'm betting, will change when those drivers are fixed WRT full dynamic allocation and refcounting. Comments? Jeff
