Report on the forcedeth driver

I tested the new driver as was requested and it works properly. I'm
sending this to you now using the forcedeth module.

Only note I have is that dhcpcd eth0 takes significantly longer to load
then with nvnet.

So as far as I'm concerned speed is the only "issue".

good luck,

Lawrence

Further testing revealed several other problems, let me first start with
my specs:

Kernel: Linux 2.6.0-test9-mm2 
Distro: Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.11
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2700+
Disk: Maxtor 6Y120P0
Ethernet: nVidia Corporation nForce2
XFree86: 4.3.0
Monitor: Iiyama AS4314UT, TFT-Master Pro 17
Videocard: nVidia Corporation NV15DDR [GeForce2 Ti]
Audio: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1

Issues: 
- dhcpcd eth0 takes longer to load
- emerge sync (gentoo update tool) hangs in the middle of updating
(confirmed not to happen with nvnet)
- modprobe segfaulted on "modprobe -r forcedeth" (note: eth0 was not
active)

On the good side:
- nvnet seems to mess up my framebuffer, forcedeth does not :)

Should you require more information just ask.

good luck,

Lawrence
