This is getting rediculious:

davem@...set:~/src/GIT/net-2.6$ git apply --check --whitespace=error-all via-rhine-Work-around-invalid-MAC-address-error.patch
error: drivers/net/via-rhine.c.orig: No such file or directory
davem@...set:~/src/GIT/net-2.6$ 
davem@...set:~/src/GIT/net-2.6$ git am --signoff via-rhine-Work-around-invalid-MAC-address-error.patch 
Applying: via-rhine: Work around invalid MAC address error
error: drivers/net/via-rhine.c.orig: does not exist in index
Patch failed at 0001 via-rhine: Work around invalid MAC address error
When you have resolved this problem run "git am --resolved".
If you would prefer to skip this patch, instead run "git am --skip".
To restore the original branch and stop patching run "git am --abort".
You have new mail in /var/mail/davem
davem@...set:~/src/GIT/net-2.6$ git am --abort

Sorry.

I'm going to ignore you're postings for a day or two, I've already
invested an enormous amount of time and energy into getting you to
submit patches which are properly formed and actually get accepted by
the tools that we all use.  Nobody else has these kinds of problems
and can submit properly formed patches.

I would strongly suggest that you try to email the patch to yourself,
save the email into a file, and feed it to "git am" on a fresh tree,
making sure that when then looking at what the resulting commit looks
like.
