Hello,
Hi
I think we should add patches to update the forcedeth and e1000 drivers to the latest version, too. Those are many changes, but also many newboxes require those new drivers: obviously most nvidia based athlon and opteron boards, and many xeon board (supermicro, tyan).What is the chance to get these drivers, backported from 2.6.22 or .23 into stable? I know we most fear regressions here, how extensive must the tests be to "get it in"?
I would think the chance is rather big to include it in the etch and a half kernel...
Up to now we were only talking about regressions... Cheers Luk
