    I hope you don't mind my CC'ing lkml. I think may be useful information
    for others, as well.

    For submitting net driver changes via BK, I would request what I request
    of others using BK (and what Marcelo requests of me):

    Send me a separate email with an easily noticable subject, something
    like "[BK] typhoon net driver fixes/updates/whatever", including the
    output of Documentation/BK-usage/bk-make-sum. Typically this is done
    like

    cd typhoon-2.4
    bk-make-sum ../linux-vanilla-2.4
    vi /tmp/linus.txt (fix URL, or whatever)
    email /tmp/linus.txt to me

    then, additional email the broken-out GNU diffs for review. Here is an
    example, though there are several other ways to do this:

    cd typhoon-2.4
    bk changes -L ../linux-vanilla-2.4 2>&1 | \
    perl csets-to-patches.pl
    # edit /tmp/rev-*.patch, and email, one per email

    bk-make-sum and csets-to-patches are shipped in Documentation/BK-usage
    in both 2.4.x and 2.5.x.

    And, unless the 2.4 and 2.5 patches are 100.0000% the same, send patches
    for both 2.4 and 2.5.

    This spams me with a lot of email, but really does optimize the
    submission process, and gets your updates into the mainline kernel very
    quickly. Ideally, I just have to do "read, read, read, cut-n-paste your
    supplied bk pull URL"

    Thanks and regards,

    Jeff



    P.S. Nice work on the driver. Even if technical issues are found, it's
    very clean and easy to review and debug.
