2007-10-11	[NET]: Nuke SET_MODULE_OWNER macro.	Ralf Baechle	1	-1/+0
	It's been a useless no-op for long enough in 2.6 so I figured it's time to remove it. The number of people that could object because they're maintaining unified 2.4 and 2.6 drivers is probably rather small.

2007-10-11	[PATCH] drivers/net: remove superfluous memset	Mariusz Kozlowski	1	-1/+0
	This patch covers something like this: dev = alloc_dev(... ... priv = netdev_priv(dev); memset(priv, 0, sizeof(priv)); The memset() here is superfluous. alloc_netdev() uses kzalloc() to allocate needed memory so there is no need to zero the priv region twice.

2007-05-10	Move USB network drivers to drivers/net/usb.	Jeff Garzik	1	-0/+1004
	It is preferable to group drivers by usage (net, scsi, ATA, ...) than by bus. When reviewing drivers, the [PCI\|USB\|PCMCIA\|...] maintainer is probably less qualified on networking issues than a networking maintainer. Also, from a practical standpoint, chips often appear on multiple buses, which is why we do not put drivers into drivers/pci/net.
