Which seemed pretty clear to me that you'd > wait for the reordered series. This was presuming Linas actually knew what he himself had submitted previously, and had been accepted... I explicitly emailed Linas on May 24, 2007 detailing each patch that had been applied, and to which netdev-2.6.git branch it had been applied (and thus whether it was queued for 2.6.22 or 2.6.23). Relevant Message-id is <4656033F.1060505@garzik.org>, and was sent not only to Linas but also to netdev@vger.kernel.org, linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org, and cbe-oss-dev@ozlabs.org. These changes were subsequently made public immediately via git://git.kernel.org/.../jgarzik/netdev-2.6.git branches 'upstream-fixes' and 'upstream', and were followed a few days later by akpm's public tree, starting with 2.6.22-rc3-mm1 (and all subsequent releases). All of the above seemed pretty clear, too. To move forward, it sounds like the best thing to do is drop all spidernet patches and start over, yes? Jeff
