[elrepo] [EG20T] Support for RHEL5 planned?

[Gerhart, Bjoern]

Hi Phil,

I just opened a "Pull Request" for the code so far at github, but I don't know if a Pull Request is required for you to see my uploaded code. First time for me submitting code via git at all, so please drop a line if I made faults in the process..
Similar to yours, we also modified pch_gbe_ethtool.c and pch_gbe_main.c. Additionally, we made changes to include/linux/netdevice.h of the 2.6.18 kernel sources.

I didn't know yet that elrepo also provides later kernels compiled for RHEL5, that's a really cool opportunity in case..! It's true that with kernel 2.6.39 the NIC really is supported, which I tested on the system.
