In short to better organize drivers/net/. There are a large number of drivers in drivers/net/ so we are trying to organize the directory structure to make it easier to maintain in the future. > FWIW, both the A2065 and Ariadne drivers are for AMD LANCE variants > (that is Am7990 and Am79C960)? I saw that they were LANCE variants, yet did not use the "common" LANCE code like the other LANCE drivers. Based on suggestions from Arnd Bergmann and Joe Perches, I am moving these into the AMD LANCE driver directory. >=20 > And (in some other patch) 82596.c is an Intel driver, not a Motorola driv= er. 82596.c is not an Intel driver, it is an Intel part. The driver was written and support by someone other than Intel. I am looking at how to better organize the 82596.c, lasi_82596.c, lib82596.c, and sni_82596.c which all use an Intel Ethernet chip but were written and supported by someone other than Intel. --=-rGnhDBd+FMvhkRSZtIjo Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAABAgAGBQJOGGYCAAoJECTsCADr/EWU9OIH/3PD1+XvR6013ejki+PF1NNG KAifZMJhaAB8ew2bOQk0kpijv2iKBZiE47ZtJo4h1xvgIoSAWUjP7lfj/jVQ9yh/ voWWRiHQHnSGqtb+mVDWD9zxPL6257hX83JYbzbz4lj/HHhG7kENIi56b/RPF9W4 KkQwy4UqGqLkCe1RTS2L0LWlT9Mqav7drfNGqnaEKIZsmCkfq6xlBB9gV9jGoaHh z/rBf+t00/5Qc26YyLRKunIBcIacQTsOBgd/yfMH2O2ScHXyfUrgGLe1PofsTFdc AWFAD0Q7HrDzjKnwCgYXHALxtk0cc5d5hkBD08G3NamA+weV4I64Nf+Yuockd7s= =YKNf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-rGnhDBd+FMvhkRSZtIjo--
