Donald,
  I have seen that the linux driver 3c59x.c now uses

    alloc_etherdev + register_netdev

instead of 

    init_etherdev (which includes register_netdevice).

What is the reason why you changed that ? Is there a reason why
a device driver writer could prefere one approach or the other ?

Thanks.
