[PATCH 0/9] Resending NetXen 1G/10G NIC driver patch

[PATCH 0/9] Resending NetXen 1G/10G NIC driver patch

[Linsys Contractor Amit S. Kale]

Hi,

I'll be sending a NetXen (formerly Universal Network Machines) 1G/10G in
subsequent emails. This is a revised version of the UNM driver posted
earlier. We have tried to make changes as per the feedback received. 
We would like this driver to be inluded in mainline kernel.
Kindly review it and feel free to get back to me for any further
feedback/queries/comments.

Thanks.
-Amit

Stephen, Roland,

Thanks a lot for feedback.

We'll implement the minor changes rightaway and post an update. We are also 
thinking about what's the best way to incorporate the data structure changes 
you have suggested. Will post a reply on that too soon.

By the way, my suggestion to the original posting still stands: use a
descriptive subject line and include a changelog entry for each patch
that you expect to be merged.

This is only one patch which we expect to be merged. We broke it into several 
parts only to make reviews easier. I'll also post a changelog entry next 
time. Would be simple AFAICS: "Added NetXen 1G/10G NIC support".

Am I missing something?
