Dear Arnd and Linux Expert,
First of all, appreciate you all for your efforts on our DM9000C driver.
Davicom Semiconductor Inc. is a fabless IC design house, located in Taiwan.
DM9000C is 10/100Mbps Ethernet IC with ISA-like interface.
Meanwhile, to facilitate the coming works with you efficiently, the key
members at Davicom side will be:
Mr. Allen Huang, PM
Mr. Russell Liu, Sr. FAE
Mr. Joseph Chang, Sr. Software Manager
Look forward to your guidance to make our product driver conform Linux.
Thanks.
BR,
Michael Chen
Director
Davicom Semiconductor Inc.

For fun, I've also tracked down the version that the new submission is
branched from, it's 2.6.29 with a small number of bug fixes that
are in later version. Here is the diff against the 2.6.29 version
of the driver. There are a few changes to the PHY handling that
are not also upstream in 3.6. It's probably worth submitting them
separately with a good explanation why they are required.
