Okay, Jeff agrees too, I'll do so.

I'd rather fix the driver then:
First, HW folks tell me that there is no need for engine
microcode update for T3A.
Moreover, there is a bug when the file name is constructed.
We have T3B and T3B2 board revs, the driver looks for
t3b_protocol_sram-1.0.44.bin for T3B2 boards and defaults to
t3a_protocol_sram-1.0.44.bin even for T3B boards.
I submitted a patch fixing this in netdev#upstream.
I should propose the fix for 2.6.23 instead.

Cheers,
Divy
