The standard for kernel drivers these days is to rely on the permanent-for-eternity kernel changelog stored in git. So please just remove the entire history from the C source code. It's just patch noise... > @@ -128,7 +129,7 @@ > #else > #define DRIVERNAPI > #endif > -#define FORCEDETH_VERSION "0.60" > +#define FORCEDETH_VERSION "0.61" > #define DRV_NAME "forcedeth" obviously the rest of this patch is OK. But due to earlier patch rejections, I will not apply it, and will assume it will reappear when you resend other patches. Finally, I would suggest keeping up with the kernel's "bug fix" 2.6.X-rcY release candidate cycles. These changes ARE bug fixes, I agree, but they still should not be appearing at the last minute. That gives us little time to ensure the fixes do not cause regressions.
