    Strange name for a *void* function...
    Also, I think 'struct net_device *' variables are typically called 'ndev'.

    In case this function fails, 'max_frequency' will have no value -- you'd 
better initialize it...

    Again, when that function fails, the variable will keep the value from the 
previous call...
