Interesting. I wasn't aware of that as an issue.

I haven't completed the 10/100/1000 adapter support yet, but I wanted to get this one in for 2.6.11. For Kconfig, I don't intend to have a separate config option for this device, it will roll under USB_AX8817X (since there is so much code overlap as it is), but I can rework the text to make it work for both cases. -- David Hollis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
