Jeff,

Since my pull request from thursday I haven't heard anything anymore, so I
assume that the changes we made were sufficient.

Needless to say that I would love to see ich8 support make it into 2.6.18rc,
considering that the hardware already is out there and the code has been
tested and validated extensively over the last period.

I hope that can still be accomodated. In that light, please pull:

    git://lost.foo-projects.org/~ahkok/git/netdev-2.6 upstream


Cheers,

Auke

[1] I can drop #11 in case someone throws a fit ;) - as everyone I'd really 
like to see patches 17->20 queued for 2.6.18 for obvious reasons - this is the 
most important section of these patches!

Cheers,

Auke
