The existing code uses a single character device. Read/write are
control packets, and it has a long list of ioctl's to do things like
check link status etc.  They also have a binary format configuration
file that is read in like firmware at the startup.  Much of the configuration
can probably be eliminated and the rest can either be done as module
parameters or config fs.
