I scanned the mailing list because I was really hoping that this was the
first time that this driver was reported to work post 5.2 and you patch
would have been easy to verify.  Unfortunately 5.3.9 worked for someone
else a while back so I will have to do a more indepth review.  A quick
scan did not cause me any concern but sisne I don't have one of the
older supported NICs either I cannot test it.

Thanks for your work on the driver, I will try to do a review this
weekend.  I don't see any issue with adding it to 5.4 and 5.5 at the
same time.
