This was presuming Linas actually knew what he himself had submitted 
previously, and had been accepted...

I explicitly emailed Linas on May 24, 2007 detailing each patch that had 
been applied, and to which netdev-2.6.git branch it had been applied 
(and thus whether it was queued for 2.6.22 or 2.6.23).  Relevant 
Message-id is <4656033F.1060505 at garzik.org>, and was sent not only to 
Linas but also to netdev at vger.kernel.org, linuxppc-dev at ozlabs.org, and 
cbe-oss-dev at ozlabs.org.

These changes were subsequently made public immediately via 
git://git.kernel.org/.../jgarzik/netdev-2.6.git branches 
'upstream-fixes' and 'upstream', and were followed a few days later by 
akpm's public tree, starting with 2.6.22-rc3-mm1 (and all subsequent 
releases).

All of the above seemed pretty clear, too.

To move forward, it sounds like the best thing to do is drop all 
spidernet patches and start over, yes?
