| Ben Hutchings | [PATCH 0/2] Disable forwarding of LRO skbs
Large Receive Offload (LRO) destroys packet headers that should be
preserved when forwarding. Currently it also triggers a BUG() or WARN()
in skb_gso_segment(). We should disable it wherever forwarding is
enabled, and discard LRO skbs with a warning if it is turned back on.

[BNX2]: Update RV2P firmware for 5709.
The new RV2P firmware fixes 2 issues:
1. The jumbo rx buffer page size is now configurable and set to the proper
PAGE_SIZE. Before, it was assumed to be always 4K.
2. Driver sometimes would crash when receiving jumbo packets mixed with
firmware management packets. This was caused by the old firmware DMA'ing
to the wrong address.

[BNX2]: Fix remote PHY initial link state.
On some remote PHY blade systems, the driver receives no initial link

To fix this problem, we add an initial poll of the link state after chip
reset.
With this change, the setting of the initial carrier state in the init
code can be eliminated.

| Daniel Lezcano | [net-2.6 patch 1/2][NETNS] fix device renaming for sysfs
When a netdev is moved across namespaces with the 'dev_change_net_namespace'
function, the 'device_rename' function is used to fixup kobject and refresh
the sysfs tree. The device_rename function will call kobject_rename and this
one will check if there is an object with the same name and this is the case
because we are renaming the object with the same name.
The use of 'device_rename' seems for me wrong because we usually don't
rename it but just move it across namespaces. As we just want to do a...

I would suggest that you enable the netdev feature flag for

have things like ieee80211_start_queue() key on that instead of a
compile-time option, in case wireless devices come along that won't
support multiple queues, if that's possible. So something like this:

| Johannes Berg | [RFC/RFT 1/4] mac80211: use rate index in TX control
This patch modifies struct ieee80211_tx_control to give band
info and the rate index (instead of rate pointers) to drivers.
This mostly serves to reduce the TX control structure size to
make it fit into skb->cb so that the fragmentation code can
put it there and we can think about passing it to drivers that
way in the future.

Note: This patch series requires a number of other patches, notably Ivo's

"mac80211: Replace ieee80211_tx_control->key_idx with ieee80211_key_conf"
Any testing of this series is welcome, even just the first patch by itself
(especially with drivers other than b43), it doesn't make sense to test with
patch 2 and not 3 though, so if you're going to test one by one treat 2/3 as
a set.
This series of patches reworks mac80211 step-by-step to use more generic
