first of all, thanks for your work on this issue. I am certainly looking
forward to the day this issue is resolved in the stable kernel.

Meanwhile, I am having some trouble with your DKMS package:

root at r210:~# dpkg-reconfigure bnx2-dkms

------------------------------
Deleting module version: 1.6.9.1
completely from the DKMS tree.
------------------------------
Done.
WARNING: /usr/lib/dkms/common.postinst does not exist.
Loading new bnx2-1.6.9.1 DKMS files...
First Installation: checking all kernels...
Building only for 2.6.24-27-server
Building for architecture x86_64
Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the
kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed.

I noticed that headers were pulled in during installation, but not the
full source. I tried installing the full source, but that didn't help,
so I'm assuming that this isn't working because I'm using the -server
variant.

Regards,
Michael
