Re: [Raring][SRU][pull-request] patches to update be2net driver

My pull request _is_ based on the latest Raring git tree (master-next).
And yes, if you already have linux-image-extras* installed, then you'll
likely need the one from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~rtg/benet ('cause
thats where the benet module is packaged)

Here is an updated pull request without the 3 patches that I considered
unnecessary. There are kernels at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~rtg/benet
with which I'd like you to perform your regression tests. Don't forget
to install linux-image-extras* if need be.

commit 03b71c6ca6286625d8f1ed44aabab9b5bf5dac10 upstream.

The search ioctl skips items that are too large for a result buffer, but

found would trigger an overflow and stop the search entirely.
