I applied only the leak fix to the stable branch, and only
the ethernet address support patch to the 2.6.25 development
tree.

The bug fix will show up later when the 2.6.25 development
tree gets rebased to upstream (which will have the leak
fix by then).

This is how I do things, and that's why changing the DRV_VERSION
to 2.0.26.7 made no sense.

Therefore it makes the most sense to bump driver version numbers
only when things are entirely self contained.
