Hi,
Trivial patch for the uml network driver: basic ethtool support
so it returns name + version on ETHTOOL_GDRVINFO.

Applied, thanks. What's with the version == 42?

I didn't find a version for the driver, so I picked a random number.
Well, not completely random, just google for "42" ;)

btw:
are there theories around, why deepthought calculated "42" ?
i wondered myself "42? WHY THE F..K 42 ?" for years.....
the most impressive idea gave a colleague of mine:
42 is "*" in ascii (decimal) - and "*" is the glob character
in computing world - matching everything.
are there other theories around, why mr. adams let deepthough
chose "42" in his novel ?
unfortunately, we can`t ask him anymore.... :(
