Hi,

I've been stuck with the 2.6.25 kernels for a while now due to this problem.

Essentially my logs are flooded with:
b44: eth0: powering down PHY

And the eth0 device does not actually work which is a bit of a pain.

I think I've tracked this down to this bug:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10473

and ultimately this fix:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/12/227

Pretty please with a cherry on top can someone apply it?

I know this should go to kernel-discuss but I'm not subscribed so
sending to cooker too :)

Col (rebooting into 2.6.25)
