Jeff,

We got an ACK back last week from Dave Miller that the following 2
patches were already applied - reply follows.

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."
