It is not clear what the 'adapter name' should be: looking at how this is
used today it is either the name of the card or the name of the driver module
(KBUILD_MODNAME or a hardcoded string).

This driver appears to be the only one that uses dev_name, but I did not
do an exhaustive search, so there may be more.

In any case, I think this should be consistent and documented somewhere.

Personally, I think using the model/card name would be best.

But how does this relate to the name reported by FE_GET_INFO? Is it
supposed to be the same name? Is that handled correctly or documented
somewhere?

Regards,

	Hans
