	- move firmware loading to request_firmware()

	- remove direct memory access of structures

	- any remaining sparse and checkpatch.pl warnings

	- any netdev recommended changes



	- use net_device_ops

	- use dev->stats rather than adapter->stats

	- don't cast netdev_priv it is already void

	- use compare_ether_addr

	- GET RID OF MACROS

	- work on all architectures

	   - without CONFIG_X86_64 confusion

	   - do 64 bit correctly

	   - don't depend on order of union

	- get rid of ASSERT(), use BUG() instead but only where necessary

	  looks like most aren't really useful

	- no new SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctl allowed

	- don't use module_param for configuring interrupt mitigation

	  use ethtool instead

	- reorder code to elminate use of forward declarations

	- don't keep private linked list of drivers.

	- remove all the gratiutous debug infrastructure

	- use PCI_DEVICE()

	- do ethtool correctly using ethtool_ops

	- NAPI?

	- wasted overhead of extra stats

	- state variables for things that are

	  easily availble and shouldn't be kept in card structure, cardnum, ...

	  slotnumber, events, ...

	- get rid of slic_spinlock wrapper

	- volatile == bad design => bad code

	- locking too fine grained, not designed just throw more locks

	  at problem
