[PATCH] [resend] drivers/net: remove network drivers' last few usesof IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM

From: Chris Peterson
Date: Wed May 13 2009 - 01:35:18 EST



I know a new "pragmatic entropy accounting model" is in the works, but
until then, this patch removes the network drivers' last few uses of
theoretically-exploitable network entropy. Only 11 net drivers are
affected. Headless servers should use a more secure source of entropy,
such as the userspace daemons.
