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