Hi,

I successfully tested this driver under 7-CURRENT as of today on an ASUS 
Vintage AH-1 based system.

lspci has the following to say about it:

02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8053 PCI-E 
Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 19)
        Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Marvell 88E8053 Gigabit 
Ethernet controller PCIe (Asus)
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 18
        Memory at fe4fc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable)
        I/O ports at c800
        Expansion ROM at fe4c0000 [disabled]
        Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 2
        Capabilities: [50] Vital Product Data
        Capabilities: [5c] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit+ 
Queue=0/1 Enable-
        Capabilities: [e0] Express Legacy Endpoint IRQ 0

A few sample netperf runs between this system (AMD Athlon64 3000+) and 
an Intel Dothan 1.8Ghz based Lenovo T43 with bge(4) interconnected via a 
3Com 5-port gigabit workgroup switch reveal the following.

Another test, this time between the same box and a dual PIII 933Mhz 
running 6.1-RELEASE with an em(4) card and 66Mhz 64-bit PCI data path on 
the same workgroup switch:

anglepoise# netperf -t TCP_STREAM -I 99 -i 30,10 -H 192.168.123.6
TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 192.168.123.6

262144  32768  32768    10.00     161.17

...probably harder on the old machine than anything, it is very unlikely 
it could saturate at line rate.

Thank you for all the excellent work on this driver, I hope this data is 
useful.
