I could start a discussion about what makes a name valid, but I'm
pretty sure netdev is not the right place for it.

I posted my patches to this mailing list per maintainer's request and
according to the published rules of the patch submission process as I
understood them.
Sorry if I misinterpreted something and wasted anybody's time.

I'm not going to resubmit the patches under a different name.

Please feel free to use them if someone is willing to sign off on them.

Best regards,
