Applied, but I had to fix several things up:

> -			if (pkt_len < rx_copybreak && (skb = dev_alloc_skb(pkt_len + 2)) != NULL) {
> +			if (pkt_len < rx_copybreak &&

This is not the correct way to format a multi-line conditional.

All subsequent lines must start at the first column after the initial line's
openning parenthesis:

	if (format_it &&
	    like_this)

	if (not &&
		like_this)

To be honest I have no idea what posses people to tab things out in such
an incredibly ugly fashion in the first place.

You properly leave this test alone and keep it as "!foo" yet:

> -			if(!(new_skb = dev_alloc_skb(lp->rx_buff_len))){
> +			new_skb = netdev_alloc_skb(dev, lp->rx_buff_len);

You change this one to the undesirable "== NULL" test, don't do that.
"!foo" is the canonical and most efficient NULL pointer test.

> -      skb = dev_alloc_skb(pkt_len+2);
> +	skb = netdev_alloc_skb(dev, pkt_len + 2);

Do not change the indentation in one place when the entire rest of the source
file uses something else, fixing that would a seperate change from what you're
doing.

> -	    skb = dev_alloc_skb(RX_BUFLEN + 2);
> +		skb = netdev_alloc_skb(RX_BUFLEN + 2);

Same problem.
