Sigh. I redid the series so as to avoid this problem, per the previous conversation. > Should I just drop all spidernet patches and start over? No. Apply the series I just sent you, dropping the one called "patch 6/15", the one from Florin Malita, as it appears you'd previously picked this up. The rest of the patches should apply cleanly; I just cheked. I just did a "git pull" of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/netdev-2.6 and checked. The result of patching is exactly as it should be. Just in case it wasn't clear, I'd like to see patches 1-5 go into 2.6.22 ... as these address the most critical complaints I'd gotten recently. --linas - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
