Driver migration question
So, rather than repeated ask questions of the form:
How do I change X (a 2.2 thingy in my driver) to the blessed form on 2.4.x?
I'm wondering if there's a driver in the kernel tree that somebody can point to and say, "This is how drivers should be done." In particular, I'm interested in networking drivers but any non-trivial driver will do.

The way drivers have to be done is mixed of two aspects:
1. The way you do drivers and
2. the way the driver works.
You should also try not to rewrite existing functions for not to get a mess of e.g. memory allocation functions that do the same but have different names.
