Interesting.  I wasn't aware of that as an issue.  I can take care of
that, no problem.

I was hoping I would be able to get away with not having to do the funky
framing stuff, but alas.  Didn't see the pretty-print part.  I'll take
care of that.

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.
