When a sequence of patches is applied, in sequence, the tree should build properly (even with all available new options enabled) at each step along the way. Otherwise we have the situation we have now, in that YeaH is in my tree but doesn't build successfully. What I'm going to do to "fix" this, is yank YeaH implementation out of my tree, add this second patch first, then add the YeaH patch back. Please never do this again. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
