I got the current rsync tree by doing a
rsync -arvz linuxcare.com.au:: linux-pmac-stable
Then I went to apply the rev 14 patches from Ben's test page, but only a
few of them worked. Most of them said patch reversed or patch already
applied. Whatever the case they didn't apply cleanly.
Then when compiling the kernel I got lots of warnings and 2 errors in
/usr/src/linux/arch/ppc/kernel/prom.c so I removed it and replaced with
with that file from the last stable tree I had. This let the kernel
compile and it booted but i still don't have network access.
I know the rsync tree was current because I just got it today (1/24/00).
I had this problem once before when i was using the wrong source tree
with the patches. am I screwing up or is there something wrong with the
patches?

I would imagine Ben's patches are going into Paul's tree. Has Ben said
anything about writing the ethernet driver?

I think Paul begun merging my patches in. You should wait a few days for
things to settle down.

The ethernet driver is in my current rev.14 kernel. It was actually
written by Paul (we both did the work, but Paul's driver was better, so I
just put back a few things from mine and included it).
