Subject: Re: Linux 2.6.30-rc1 tg3 endian issues with MAC addresses on
 BCM5701. Bisected.

Thank you for doing this bisection Robin.  This, and the data you
provided in your previous email is really helpful.  Unfortunately, they
raise more questions than answers.

I reviewed this patch again, and it still looks correct to me.  It
should be one big behavioral no-op.  Obviously something is wrong, but
I'm not seeing the root cause at the moment.  I need to think about this
some more.
