Theo de Raadt (deraadt@) sent out a request to misc asking users for donations of a PCIe capable system for developer Brad Smith (brad@).
Update (Fri Jul 11 2008, 08:39:31 CEST): Since there has been some requests for that, we are publishing Brad's paypal address. This way you can donate small amounts as well. Please keep in mind that Brad is the principal maintainer for many of the ethernet drivers, so if you care about having well working network drivers in the future, here's where you can really make a difference. Please help chip in you too, the paypal address is: brad@comstyle.com
Read on for Theo's mail...

Ah. I'm new to this PayPal thing. I went looking around and did find your transfer. When I clicked on All account activity it still did not show your entry, but if I click on Payments received it does. This is in my opinion a little strange.
Anyway, it definitely was not my intention to leave any names out. I just did not see them where I would have expected them to be when I was copying and pasting the names into the post. It turns out I left out the following names and they should be mentioned as well..
Edvinas Juozaitis, Rafael Sadowski, Stephan Rickauer
Thank you.
