Here is a set of updates for PS3 gelic network driver.
This patch set requires other patches which were already submitted by
Geert (http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119626095605487).

	[1] PS3: gelic: Fix the wrong dev_id passed
	[2] PS3: gelic: Add endianness macros
	[3] PS3: gelic: Code cleanup
	[4] PS3: gelic: Remove duplicated ethtool handers
	[5] PS3: gelic: Add support for port link status
	[6] PS3: gelic: Add support for dual network interface

This is also a set of prerequisite for new wireless driver for PS3, which
I'll submit later. 

These seem to not have been applied, but I couldn't find any stated
reason.  Did they just get lost?  Withdrawn?

Will these be applied?  There is a wireless patch that depends on them.
If not, will the wireless portion be refactored to not require these
patches?

The list of 6 patches above are the patches that Masakazu Mukono is
submitting, the pre-reqs are different patches (see the linked URL),
though I can't see them in either (they should probably go through
paulus for-2.6.25). Geert, what's up with these ?

The wireless patch depends on the patches 1-6, which then depend on
Geert's patches.

I thought Geert's had been applied, but I guess I was looking at
it wrong.  Is there a powerpc tree that has them?

Not yet, they are now only in ps3-linux.git.  I sent them out to
Paul last Friday the 18th for inclusion in 2.6.25.  Here is a link
to the message:

  http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2008-January/050213.html

Perhaps 1-6 above
and the wireless patch should just be applied to that tree (if there
is one) and all merged together?

I think Paul will accept them if they have the Sign-off-by's of
the proper network maintainers.
