+Cleaned up immensely by Olaf Hartman and Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>
Note, the powermanagement options were removed from the vendor provided
driver as they did not build properly at the time.
TODO:
- - kernel coding style cleanups
- - forward port for latest network driver changes
- - kill useless typecasts (e.g. in et1310_phy.c)
- - alloc_etherdev is initializing memory with zero?!?
- - add_timer call in et131x_netdev.c is correct?
- - Add power saving functionality (suspend, sleep, resume)
- - Implement a few more kernel Parameter (set mac )
+ - Look at reducing the number of spinlocks
+ - Simplify code in nic_rx_pkts(), when determining multicast_pkts_rcvd
+ - Implement NAPI support
+ - In et131x_tx(), don't return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, just drop the packet with kfree_skb().
+ - Reduce the number of split lines by careful consideration of variable names etc.
