I'm not sure. I sourced the patch from bitkeeper, and it matches that in
the redhat bugzilla (although they didn't use it in the end, rather
upgrading the driver itself). Unfortunately I'm not able to test it on a
box with an e1000.

My untrained eye can't spot the reason for the change in the source
files between 2.4.20 and recent 2.4 (where recent is just before the
new version that went into bitkeeper shortly after that patch). Am I
missing a particular change in FC or Redhat that causes this descrepancy?

Well spotted, though :)

Cheers,

Dominic.
