We're open to suggestions as to reduce the amount of files, but since e1000 has it's own subdirectory, and supports a large amount of files, I think we're in the right direction with the amount. We approached it this from a rather superfluous amount of files standpoint knowing we can merge some later anyway. One thing we've contemplated ourselves was to merge the smaller .h files into the .c files where applicable, so your comment goes duly noted Thanks, Auke - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
