The object factoring is a mess here. You have too many allocations
and indirections. My expectation would be:
1. One PCI device maps to one board and that is the adapter structure
allocated with kzalloc. (You are doing this right)
2. An adapter can have up to four ports. Each of these should

So at least, for the _current_ implimentations, this should have no
performance impacts.
Regardless, I think this is something that userspace _can_
take care of reasonably and therefore has no buisness in the
kernel.
The existing code did a 64 bit divide directly, which won't work on
32 bit platforms. This is what I am testing, it uses math similar to
TCP CUBIC to do a quad root. It seemed more efficient to just do
one operation rather than two square roots.

I want to use AF_LLC and SOCK_DGRAM for handling Spanning
Tree Protocol packets in user space. The existing code doesn't work
and also doesn't support multicast. These basic problems and
add some cleanups.

Some stuff for 2.6.18. The most important is adding netlink
support for managing interfaces; this allows building STP
as an application.
Applied to net-2.6.18, thanks Stephen.

If a SIR dongle is built in the kernel while IRTTY_SIR is built
as a module, kernel compilation will fail.
Thus, the SIR dongle config should depend on the IRTTY_SIR.

The MosChip MCS7780 chipset is an IrDA USB bridge that
doesn't conform with the IrDA-USB standard and thus needs
its separate driver.
Tested on an actual MCS7780 based dongle.

This patch gets rid of the old power management code and now uses the
device model for the ali-ircc driver.

stir4200 uses a kernel thread for its TX/RX operations, and it is now
converted to the kernel kthread API.

During a code scan for another change I discovered that this call to
pcnet32_free_ring must be removed. If the open fails due to a lack of
memory all the ring structures are removed via the call to free_ring
and a subsequent call to open will dereference a null pointer in
pcnet32_init_ring.

Hello,
there are some patches to avoid pci_find_device in drivers, next will come in
future.
Take #2.
It's against 2.6.17-rc4-mm3 tree.

Change pci_find_device to safer pci_get_device with support for more
devices.

Stephen, Roland,
Thanks a lot for feedback.
We'll implement the minor changes rightaway and post an update. We are also
thinking about what's the best way to incorporate the data structure changes
you have suggested. Will post a reply on that too soon.
