Hi Jeff et al,
We gained immensely from your code review comments last time when we
submitted the S2io driver.
Attached is a patch(use with -p1 option from /usr/src/<kernel_name>
directory) on the current driver
in the 2.6 kernel. Please review the code changes and reply with your
valuable comments.

Briefly, some of the main features in this patch:

1. Support for IBM PowerPC platform.
2. Support for NAPI.
3. More efficient allocation of Transmit blocks.
4. Multi-buffer mode for improved Receive performance.
4. Following bug fixes:
   a. Race condition when trying to down interface during traffic.
   b. Fix for bringup problems with SuSE9 on IA64 system.

Thanks,
Ravi
