I'm backporting from a moving target. Two weeks ago I posted the patch for review to linux-netdev (based on a 2.6 -mm kernel). I haven't received any complaints, thus I'm submitting it now for merging. During these two weeks the __iomem and netdev_priv change were added to 2.6 and that causes the difference between my patch and 2.6.10-rc1. -- Manfred
