The patch titled
forcedeth boot delay fix
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
forcedeth-boot-delay-fix.patch
This patch was dropped because it had testing failures
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: forcedeth boot delay fix
From: Ayaz Abdulla <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Fix a long boot delay in the forcedeth driver. During initialization, the
timeout for the handshake between mgmt unit and driver can be very long.
The patch reduces the timeout by eliminating a extra loop around the
timeout logic.
