Hi All,

Has anyone been working on backporting features of the 2.6 stack and tg3.c driver?

I've incoporated some small changes to the driver and mod_timer to reduce contention on some locks, but I'd also like to do the following:

1. get rid of do_cscum (which requires the newer sk_buff)
2. reduce contention in __wake_up
3. reduce contention in skb_release_data

Steve
