You're right! I'm making a lot of mistakes. It seems I called the make
command in the wrong git tree... Thanks for catching that, and taking
time to review!
I just saw there isn't any netdev_debug available. Do you know the
reason for that? Is there a replacement besides pr_debug?
Also, it seems that in all the functions where it's another netdev
that's available that I could use, I don't have access to the
net_device struct. Is there a general way to get that device
information? I saw an old lkml post talking about dev_*() functions to
do that? Would you have some hint on the matter?

Thanks a lot!
Raphaël
