The bug fix will show up later when the 2.6.25 development tree gets rebased to upstream (which will have the leak fix by then). This is how I do things, and that's why changing the DRV_VERSION to 2.0.26.7 made no sense. Therefore it makes the most sense to bump driver version numbers only when things are entirely self contained. - 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
