+ *
+ * This implements an ethernet device for the i2400m.
+ *
+ * We fake being an ethernet device to simplify the support from user
+ * space and from the other side. The world is (sadly) configured to
+ * take in only Ethernet devices...
+ *
+ * Because of this, currently there is an copy-each-rxed-packet
+ * overhead on the RX path. Each IP packet has to be reallocated to
+ * add an ethernet header (as there is no space in what we get from
+ * the device). This is a known drawback and coming versions of the
+ * device's firmware are being changed to add header space that can be
+ * used to insert the ethernet header without having to reallocate and
+ * copy.
+ *
+ * TX error handling is tricky; because we have to FIFO/queue the
+ * buffers for transmission (as the hardware likes it aggregated), we
+ * just give the skb to the TX subsystem and by the time it is
+ * transmitted, we have long forgotten about it. So we just don't care
+ * too much about it.
+ *
+ * Note that when the device is in idle mode with the basestation, we
+ * need to negotiate coming back up online. That involves negotiation
+ * and possible user space interaction. Thus, we defer to a workqueue
+ * to do all that. By default, we only queue a single packet and drop
+ * the rest, as potentially the time to go back from idle to normal is
+ * long.
