Please update the sfc driver to the version in 2.6.33-rc3. This adds
support for the SFC9000 family of 10G Ethernet adapters. Note that
there are a very large number of changes in the driver after 2.6.32;
most of these were refactoring required in preparation for the addition
of new hardware support.
A small number of changes to sfc depend on these networking core changes
relative to 2.6.32:

I don't have a public git tree that you can pull from, but I can prepare
one if you need it.
If you are not prepared to apply the networking core changes, I can
prepare a version of the sfc driver that does not depend on them.
Ben.
