So, this patch set brings the be2net driver mostly up to v3.10-rc1
(ignoring some VLAN net changes). The partial backports you've mentioned
above are unnecessary. Otherwise, everything else appears to be clean
cherry picks and isolated to the benet driver.

What regression testing has been done using this patch set on the Raring
kernel ? When is the new hardware due to be released ? Is there a reason
that you can't wait for the 13.10 HWE kernel ?
