That's OK with me. As an example, on the MIPS side of things, Ralf sends most MIPS stuff straight to Linus, but I queue all his drivers/net/* patches into my queue, and that gets submitted separately (though just as rapidly) upstream with other net driver changes. I certainly do recognize that qeth, in particular, is a network driver unlike all others in the kernel ;-) Jeff
