    I've posted an updated via-velocity driver to
            ftp://people.redhat.com/alan/Kernel

    The new tar ball contains the following changes

            - Fix two 64bit problems
            - Fix various formatting and other related cleanup
                    things
            - Fix crash on down
            - Switch ethtool to new ethool ops (fixes ethtool crash)
            - Add power management back
            - Fix multiple power management bugs in the via driver
                    (errors copied from and still present in many existing drivers
                     including 3c59x)
            - Remove unneeded chain of velocity_info structs
            - Clean up transmit packet length logic
            - Added module_license tag note to the header file
            - Renamed header file to match c file

    The driver still lacks copybreak and scatter gather optimisations. I've
    tagged a few possible improvements with "FIXME" in the comments if anyone
    is interested.
