As I've mentioned previously, my network performance is not great in general, but I don't see a drop off with this version, or any errors in dmesg. BTW, applying the patch threw one error, even though most of it applied cleanly, and the driver seems to work. Is that normal? [I'm sorry I didn't save the error message.] Greetings Michael.

I was, but I think my mistake was the failure to do both 'git-clean -f' and 'git-checkout -f'.
