ROTFL. The last remnants of CONFIG_AT1500 removed - that was a hell

[PATCH] trivial -- skfp_probe should be static
skfp_probe used to be called from Space.c but isn't any more.
Therefore it no longer needs to be global. All the calls to insert_device()
pass skfp_probe as a second arg, so just use it directly.
Jeff, this also is janitor type stuff, so just put it in net-2.5-exp

Convert arlan driver to new probing. This meant a rather large

standard things.

[netdrvr 3c527] remove cli/sti
Richard Procter and I worked to remove cli/sti to add proper SMP support (I did the original stuff and Richard did the actual current code :)).
Besides that, Richard did a great jog improving the perfomance of the driver quite a bit:
- Improve mc32_command by 770% (438% non-inlined) over the semaphore version (at a cost of 1 sem + 2 completions per driver).
- Removed mutex covering mc32_send_packet (hard_start_xmit). This lets the interrupt handler operate concurrently and removes unnecessary locking. It makes the code only slightly more brittle
Original post:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=106438449315202&w=2
Since it didn't apply cleanly against 2.6.0-test6, I forward ported it. Patch attached.
Jeff, please consider applying,
Thanks.

[PATCH] remove dev_get from wanrouter
The call to dev_get() in wanrouter_device_new_if is racy and redundant and should
be removed. The later 'register_netdev()' does the same test internally and will
return the appropriate error if the name already exists.
This patch is against 2.6.0-test6.
Resend of earlier patch because it was ignored, or missed.

[PATCH] 2.6.0-test6 - more free_netdev() conversion
Compiles ok (with true .o generated, yeah). Please review.
free_netdev() of devices allocated through use of alloc_netdev().
Though baroque, drivers/net/3c515.c now uses alloc_etherdev().

How about a driver for PCI200SYN sync serial WAN card?
Would you like me to send it again?
