1This driver is supposed to support:
2
3 Mojave cards (single port PCI Gigabit) both copper and fiber
4 Oasis cards (single and dual port PCI-x Gigabit) copper and fiber
5 Kalahari cards (dual and quad port PCI-e Gigabit) copper and fiber
6
7The driver was actually tested on Oasis and Kalahari cards.

9TODO:
10 - move firmware loading to request_firmware()
11 - remove direct memory access of structures
12 - any remaining sparse and checkpatch.pl warnings
13
14 - use net_device_ops
15 - use dev->stats rather than adapter->stats
16 - don't cast netdev_priv it is already void
17 - GET RID OF MACROS
18 - work on all architectures
19 - without CONFIG_X86_64 confusion
20 - do 64 bit correctly
21 - don't depend on order of union
22 - get rid of ASSERT(), use BUG() instead but only where necessary
23 looks like most aren't really useful
24 - no new SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctl allowed
25 - don't use module_param for configuring interrupt mitigation
26 use ethtool instead
27 - reorder code to elminate use of forward declarations
28 - don't keep private linked list of drivers.
29 - remove all the gratiutous debug infrastructure
30 - use PCI_DEVICE()
31 - do ethtool correctly using ethtool_ops
32 - NAPI?
33 - wasted overhead of extra stats
34 - state variables for things that are
35 easily available and shouldn't be kept in card structure, cardnum, ...
36 slotnumber, events, ...
37 - get rid of slic_spinlock wrapper
38 - volatile == bad design => bad code
39 - locking too fine grained, not designed just throw more locks
