I saw Space.o being build, and seeing as it is Capitalised thought I would see 
why, and maybe a patch to make it all lower case.

The patch is trivial:

--- drivers/net/MakefileOrig    2006-05-29 17:59:09.000000000 +0100
+++ drivers/net/Makefile        2006-05-29 17:59:23.000000000 +0100

 obj-$(CONFIG_SUNDANCE) += sundance.o
 obj-$(CONFIG_HAMACHI) += hamachi.o
-obj-$(CONFIG_NET) += Space.o loopback.o
+obj-$(CONFIG_NET) += space.o loopback.o
 obj-$(CONFIG_SEEQ8005) += seeq8005.o
 obj-$(CONFIG_NET_SB1000) += sb1000.o
 obj-$(CONFIG_MAC8390) += mac8390.o 8390.o

then/and rename drivers/net/Space.c -> drivers/net/space.c

It all builds OK (not booted with it though).

Doing a grep of source after changes reveals only a few documentation/comments 
refer to Space.c - no other code.

I have looked though docs and googled as to why this One File Is Like This to 
no avail?  Convention?
