Subject: [PATCH 0/6] bna: Brocade 10Gb Ethernet device driver

From: Rasesh Mody <rmody@...cade.com>

This is patch 0/6 which contains the summary of changes we've
done in this particular submission for Brocade's BR1010/BR1020
10Gb CEE capable ethernet adapter. Source is based against
net-next-2.6.

The changes are as follows:

1) Addressed comments received so far.

- Added GRO support and removed LRO completely

- Used OS primitives in place of abstractions wherever possible

- Removed duplication of PCI_DEVICE_IDs

- Corrected bnad_netpoll implementation

- Eliminated firmware image copy

- Reduced module parameters to only 2

- Return type of bnad_xmit_start() changed to netdev_tx_t

- Removed unnecessary comments in the code

- Flattened the directory structure and reduced the number of files (form ~45 to 25)

2) Added support for new hardware (e.g. IBM/Dell Mezzanine cards)

We wish this patch to be considered for inclusion in net-next-2.6.
