You say eth1 here. Yet lower down you say got eth0 and eth1 are
connected to the switch?

It would be great if you could work on getting the phylink patches
into mainline. It is something i have wanted to do for a long time,
but it is too low down on my priority list to get to. The code is high
quality, so i don't think there will be too many issues. It probably
just needs splitting up into smaller batches, submitting, and working
on any comments.

Again, this is something i wanted to do, and i did have a prototype at
one point. But again, not enough time. If you have resources to work
on this, i can find my code, explain my ideas, and let you complete
it.
