 +  * More datasheet and code reading about descriptor ring handling, receive/​transmit,​ offloading functions
 +  * Completely unexpectedly discovered another tg3 test machine. I have 4 cards to test with now.
 +  * Removed ethtool support functions. ​ Tested on 2 machines. Reduces lines of code by almost 2000 lines. Yay.
 +  * Started removing of checksum-offloading functions. Not yet pushed, as it's unfinished.
 +  * Created new [[http://​git.etherboot.org/​people/​meteger/​mytg3/​.git/​|Driver-only Repository]]. Easier to pull than a full kernel tree.
