Sorry, about that. gmail hides previous emails. i just want to make sure it was understood that i want try and make the r8169 driver that supported my card in 2.6.22 and back port it to work in 2.6.16.52. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
