Mea culpa. I was hiding under my desk expecting the 10GigE+ world to unite and march upon me, torches ablaze and, while gearing up for battle there, collecting data on how bql and split-gso interacted at various speeds, I didn't expect davem to just take the darn patch. I have this whole lovely, giant, rant ,and plots that I'm not gonna be motivated to finish now. This does raise a long term point however in that as we go mainline more tweaks and patches *will* arrive via normal linux kernel processes from others.

I started reviewing the man page's gobble of troff, started writing a tuning section (and decided that needed a web page), went looking for other missing keywords, and... we haven't heard from logan in a while... my back is covered with black jube jells and dust bunnies from hiding under my desk. and I dunno, has anyone read the man page lately?
