[Ciarán Mooney (ciaran-mooney)]

I suggest the importance be set to wishlist.

[Pete Graner (pgraner)]

@rtg

This is needed for HP servers. Pls pull for Jaunty A6. I checked the current tree and couldn't find them.

[Tim Gardner (timg-tpi)]

Since these commit IDs reference a transient repository (Dave rebases periodically), I want a single patch attached that has the minimum impact on the driver while still enabling the desired functionality.

[Tim Gardner (timg-tpi)]

These commits originate from

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6.git
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next-2.6.git

and will be dropped for Karmic assuming they will already be upstream for 2.6.30.
