This will update the following files:

drivers/net/sis900.c    |   41 
+++++++++++++++++++++--------------------
drivers/net/via-rhine.c |    3 +++

The via-rhine fix is already in the stable queue.  But the sis900 
oops
fix does not apply to the stable tree.  It relies on a few 
intermediate
patches.  Appears to still be an issue for the older version which 
is in
2.6.11.  Here's a stab at a backport.  Would you like to 
review/validate
or drop this one?

The backport looks correct to me, though it would be nice to get a
via-rhine owner to ACK the patch before it goes in...

OK, thanks.  ITYM sis900 maintainer, is that still Ollie Lho as listed 
in
MAINTAINERS (that's looking old)?

I have been acting maintainer for more than a year now, and I'm 
completely fine with the patch.

A lot of time ago (2.6.6) I proposed a patch to update MAINTAINERS, but 
Jeff said he wanted to wait some time. I don't know if such change is 
now possible/wanted.
AFAIK Ollie's email address bounces.
