[PATCH] forcedeth bug fix: realtek phy 8211c errata

[Ayaz Abdulla]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 215 bytes --]

This patch adds support for the realtek 8211c phy. The driver must 
perform a hardware reset of the phy due to an errata where the phy could 
not detect the link.

Would you consider this fix to be needed in 2.6.25.x?  2.6.26.x?

The patch applies OK to 2.6.26, but gets lots of rejects against 2.6.25.
