This has been in -mm kernels since you first sent it out.  I'm intending to

Cool...someone was asking for it in netdev-2.[46], and Jeff didn't
have it.  That is what provoked the resend.


Merged into -ac since you essentially can't use 3c59x/3c90x with DHCP on
some systems or get it back from suspend with several distributions.
This IMHO should go into 2.6.10 because its a showstopper for many
users.

Poke Andrew to push it upstream, he's the 3c59x maintainer.
