Bug#508527: 2.6.26-11 oops on initial NIC (via-velocity) setup

[Christoph Fritsche <chr.fr@gmx.net>]

Thanks Moritz and "junk mail" for pointing out.

I can confirm both ways do work. Taking via-velocity.* from git or 2.6.28
sources will fix this issue.

I pulled the current version of via-velocity.* from git diffed and patched
against linux-source-2.6.26. I did some basic testing like sending jumbo
frames and putting some load to the NIC.

It looks like the 2.6.28 kernel makes not use of the latest git version of
via-velocity.* nevertheless it works too.

Have fun
 Christoph
