Hi, Send again with this time to netdev also. I didnt notice Steve not including netdev in the first place.

Macro abuse. It should be a function.Yes but I got smc911x.h and smc91x.h as a basis. In the smc911x.c there are macros which is longer than it, e.g. SMC_GET_MII. In the same way, smc91x.h contains even more longer like SMC_PUSH_DATA. But, of course, it doesnt mean they are correct.At SMSC (with help from ARM) we tidied up and posted our smsc911x driver to the netdev list. This uses a more "2.6" style, supports more devices, contains additional workarounds for hardware issues and works on !arm. I don't think Jeff has included this in 2.6 yet, so let me know if you would like a copy.
I tracked your mails from archives. Well, as said, which one will be stay at the kernel, Dustin's or SMSC's? Because I have additional patches againist to in-kernel driver and maybe some more in the future. Our board is MIPS based. PS: I am happy if you send me your patches privately... -- Bora SAHIN
