I'm guessing davej talks about em8300 in the quoted part below:
<davej> this doesn't look like it'd need huge amounts
of work to get
into an upstreamable state
<davej> it'd need to lose crap like devfs
support though
<davej> and all the #ifdef KERNEL_VERSION < 2.5.x junk
<davej> but the key blocker is, is someone going to do the work to get

<jwb> davej, ok... so given that if the maintainer
was willing to work on that would you let them carry it in the main
kernel as a patch?
<davej> jwb: if someone was working on it, sure.

here's a link to a message I just posted:
