Dave, I saw a message you sent awhile ago about Jeff handing off some netdev stuff to you. Since I haven't seen anything to rescind that notice, I'll direct my request to you. Could you please merge this patch for 2.6.24? http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/83368 When the reporter hits the bug, the result is a locked up kernel. Granted, it's triggered only in the presence of VLAN tagged frames, but it's a serious bug and the fix is simple.
