Hi,

Here's a patch against 2.5.3 for the USB kaweth driver that does the
following:
        - removes SMP deadlock
        - removes nfs deadlock
        - fixes a memory leak when the firmware is not loaded.
        - few other minor cleanups.
This patch was done by Oliver Neukum.


thanks,

greg k-h
