Hi Jeff, When we backported netxen driver to 2.6.9 kernel on ppc, we saw the compile errors for "USER_START". Because there is another definition for USER_START which is used by arch/ppc64/mm/hash_utils.c and native.c. So we like to add NETXEN before USER_START in netxen device driver, then netxen driver can be compiled correctly in 2.6.9 kernel. Let me know if you any question for this patch.
