Is Ben still maintaining ethtool?  I ask because I have this series which I
sent out earlier this month, with no word and I know there is at least one
other ethtool patch series that has had no response or committal from who
ever is maintaining ethtool.

I know we discussed last netconf that we should look at possibly a new tool
to address the shortcomings of ethtool, but I was not aware we had
abandoned maintaining the current ethtool already before any replacement
tool has been developed.
