I recall we previously discussed the issue of which directory to place
it in, and I don't have any strong preference regarding this. However,
I'm not sure whether we reached an agreement on this point. In my
opinion, placing it under the drivers/ directory seems more reasonable.
But if net/ is OK, that works for me too.

Best regards,
Dust
