Put the name in directly. That way you won't need the comment explaining where to find the definitions. Also normally people use gt lt brackets for emails: MODULE_AUTHOR("Victor Soriano "); MODULE_AUTHOR("Mark Einon "); Go ahead and fix this in a later patch if you want. All the macros there should probably be replaced. Btw, the problems with kernel.org have complicated things here, so I can't tell if you have already fixed this, but the driver doesn't compile any more. The Kconfig file says it "depends on NETDEV_1000" but NETDEV_1000 isn't around any more since f860b0522f65d3 "drivers/net: Kconfig and Makefile cleanup" was merged. regards, dan carpenter
