New testing kernel.

[raxet]

Why can't something be done short term to fix the Marvell gigabyte lan

early October 04. It was supported in earlier 2.6 kernels?

Anyone? And don't tell me someone has to add it upstream at kernel.org,
cause that's ridiculous.

Great!   :-)

As soon as the new kernel hits my mirror I will install it.
