As requested, here are the patchsets with the fixed subjects.
The subjects aswell as the subject prefixes are more precise now.
Hopefully that's ok.

Patch 1:
Makes the function typhoon_init_one() return a negative error code instead of 0.

Patch 2 [Optional]:
Makes the function typhoon_init_one() return the return value of the
corresponding failing function calls instead of a "fixed" negative error code.

With Regards,
Milan and Thomas

I'm not sure these changes are especially valuable, since we'll need to
look at the dmesg log anyways to figure out what went wrong, but again I
don't feel strongly.

Fix up the subject issues and I'm happy to ack them.

   In addition to what DaveM said, your choise of the subject prefixes is too 
wide -- it would seem that you're fixing all 3com drivers, while you're only 
fixing typhoon. That "typhoon:" alone would have been an appropriate prefix.
