+To-do items for network drivers
+-------------------------------
+
+* Move ethernet crc routine to generic code
+
+* (for 2.5) Integrate Jamal Hadi Salim's netdev Rx polling API change
+
+* Audit all net drivers to make sure magic packet / wake-on-lan /
+  similar features are disabled in the driver by default.
+
+* Audit all net drivers to make sure the module always prints out a
+  version string when loaded as a module, but only prints a version
+  string when built into the kernel if a device is detected.
+
+* Add ETHTOOL_GDRVINFO ioctl support to all ethernet drivers.
+
+
+
+To-do items to consider for network drivers
+-------------------------------------------
+* Make a single function which handles the ethtool ioctl for
+  most MII-compatible devices?  Ideally the driver would pass function
+  pointers to its existing mdio_{read,write} functions when calling the
+  generic ioctl handler.
