Currently most of our driver for our system reside in the staging tree Maintained by Greg KH. It was suggested by one of the engineers at Red Hat Don Zickus that in order to accelerate the process of moving the remaining drivers we pushed directly to their specific system in the Linux Kernel. Currently virtnic which is our Virtual Network driver resides internally at Unisys and dependencies are in the staging tree(drivers/staging/unisys/). So would you be willing to take a look at our Network driver in order to add it to your Network tree? Cheers, Erik Arfvidson
