If you don't mind creating another tarball in about a week, do it now.
I have a huge pile of changes going in to clean up config.c and make
the probe functions not nic device specific, and kill nic_reset.  I
have recently tested the code in the repository and it should be in a
functional state. 

The goal is to haven an easily access intermediate version between all
of my changes. 

My primary target is a clean model that allows booting off of multiple
kinds of devices.  I think I have one, but it requires quite a bit of
manual shifting of code around.  Clean implies less code duplication,
better maintenance and a smaller final result.

Unless I hear otherwise I will check in my next pile of changes in
another 12, or 13 hours.  And then I will start work on getting
the boot from disk code integrated in cleanly, including the ability
to boot from the disk first.  So this may be the quite before the
storm.  With a little luck the storm should be over by this time next
week, and the major work will be stabalizing 5.1.x for 5.2.
