Huh, two version bumps for... ONE ONE-LINER :-). Could we get rid of embedded version? It helps no one.
Version numbers for drivers that can be built as modules are very helpful for anyone wanting to upgrade a driver on top of a distribution supported kernel. If you always just use the latest kernel source, you're right it doesn't help you. But that's not everyone. This one skips two versions because I'm trying to sync up a 1.8 version tested internally with the 1.7+ upstream changes that's in the kernel now. I'll accept that the official policy is to not version modules when MODULE_VERSION is removed :-) - Chris - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
