The third patch is more of an RFC. It consolidates the creation/removal of the driver between the PnP code and the plain ISA code. In doing so it changes the net_device allocation from static to dynamic and allows PnP support when the driver is compiled in. This is probably how things will eventually have to be if there is ever driver model support for plain ISA devices. Caveats: It appears that the patch will break any autoprobe ordering because it no longer uses Space.c when compiled into the kernel. Data size of object goes up about 100 bytes. -Jeff
