If you are going to consistently have the path as drivers/net/ethernet/<company-name>/<driver-name>, then
be2net driver must be under drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/be2net/

thanks,

That sound fine.  I was not consistent about using
driver/net/ethernet/<company name>/ because companies have been
bought/sold and a driver may change hands one or more times.  So I tried
to avoid using company names unless I was confident about it.

I will make the requested change.
