Hi Jason
Just as an FYI:
1) I don't think anybody in netdev has taken a serious look at the network code yet. There is little point until the controversial part of the code, Zinc, has been sorted out.
2) I personally would be surprised if DaveM took this code without having an Acked-by from the crypto subsystem people. In the same way, i doubt the crypto people would take an Ethernet driver without having DaveM's Acked-by.
