Hi Keith, This is a cure the syntom not the problem, build order shouldn't mess up something this simple. I've forwarded your patch to Ulrich & Martin ( the s390 maintainers ) & they may use it seeing as you & possibly others would prefer a /drivers/net/s390. David admitted it is a bug, if the patch is good hopefully it will be taken, it if better can be done hopefully someone will do better. D.J.
