Sorry it took me so long. Still doesn't apply though:

This is quite confusing since you seem to have combined two patches in this 
single patch file. For example pdnb3.h is patched twice! If it's easier for 
you, then please send me two patches, one for the IXP-NPE stuff and one for 
your pdnb3 config file. Thanks.

Could you please resend a patch against the current repository? I'll promise 
to check and submit this time quickly.

Thanks. But it's still missing the requested README. As I wrote earlier:

"
And please also add a little description (perhap in doc/README.ixp-npe) on how 
to configure the newly added configuration defines "CONFIG_NPE_x_ADDRx". I 
assume they point to a location in FLASH where the NPE binary should be 
stored, right? Please describe this so that other people (and me after a few 
months) understand this too.
"

Best would be to add a small example here, what file needs to get downloaded 
from Intel (NPE binary), and how to program this to the correct location in 
FLASH.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Stefan
