My patch does no "apply", it was made against 2.6.26-11 --
Supermicro just sent me their forcedeth.c and I made the patch.

I have not tried -11 on the server, only -8 and -10, which both had
the problems.

How do I find out when net-use-gso.patch was added? The changelog
does not mention it, and I cannot find a repository for the source
(there are also no Vcs-* links in the package).

As soon as I get a second switch port, I will. While I only have one
switch port, I have no choice...
