Hi!
Attached is an update for the patch that adds support for the gigabit ethernet nic in the nForce 250 Gb chipset. There were two changes from the previous patch: - clear the PHY_HALF flag if the nic is in half duplex. - remove the setflags / setlen helper functions: the ring entries are visible to the hardware, I don't like the read/modify/write cycles. It passes my own tests with 100 MBit half duplex, 100 MB full duplex and 1 GBit full duplex.

NVidia has copyright on driver created by reverse engeneering their hardware? Funny ;-). If NVIDIA really cooperates, perhaps its time to make the name more friendly to them?
