There are 8 patches in this series that touch drivers/net, only one of
them had a Cc: to netdev.

The diffstat of my series for drivers/net is
 drivers/net/arm/am79c961a.c  |    2 +-
 drivers/net/arm/at91_ether.c |    2 +-
 drivers/net/jazzsonic.c      |    4 ++--
 drivers/net/macsonic.c       |   14 +++++++-------
 drivers/net/meth.c           |    2 +-
 drivers/net/sb1250-mac.c     |    2 +-
 drivers/net/sgiseeq.c        |    2 +-
 drivers/net/xtsonic.c        |    2 +-
 8 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-)

drivers/net/arm/at91_ether.c got a NACK by David Brownell---he wants the
alternative to be implemented.
drivers/net/arm/am79c961a.c got the Cc to netdev@
You now took drivers/net/macsonic.c.

Should I repost the remaining 5 to netdev@?

Best regards
Uwe
