I get lost in the man-pages. git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next-2.6.git Should get you started. In this case please look at how I modified the bonding driver to do what you are trying to do. That is the conflict in net-next and I think it was actually less code. The other very useful command is: git log -u some/path/ Git has fine manual pages and git command --help works for the builtin git commands. Eric
