I'm sorry, I tried to make that clear.

My tree is here, minus a few debugging patches related to this bug:

http://dmz2.candelatech.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=linux-3.7.dev.y/.git;a=summary

It's rebased on top of 3.7.6.

The wanlink module I'm using is outside the tree. I recently decided to
release this as GPL, so ignore any conflicting copyright notices to
the contrary in the code:

http://www.candelatech.com/~greearb/wanlink.tgz

The wanlink module is a network impairment tool that acts like a 2-port
bridge. In my current test case, I'm bridging about 300Mbps of traffic
across two ethernet ports. It blows up immediately after starting the
emulation.

Thanks,
Ben
