Hi

1) please use netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() instead of dev_alloc_skb() +
skb_reserve(skb, NET_IP_ALIGN);

2) Dont include a "struct net_device_stats stats" in struct ftmac100,
you can use the one included in struct net_device
  (You can then remove ftmac100_get_stats())

3) Dont "netdev->last_rx = jiffies;" : This is not driver job.
 Ditto for trans_start

4) You must comment why wmb() is needed in ftmac100_xmit()

5) Why isnt NAPI used too for TX completions ?
   BTW, I am not sure we want a define. All new drivers must use NAPI.

6) Use is_valid_ether_addr() instead of is_zero_ether_addr() in
ftmac100_probe()

7) "static struct ethtool_ops ftmac100_ethtool_ops" should be const :
	"static const struct ethtool_ops ftmac100_ethtool_ops"
  Ditto for :
	"static struct net_device_ops ftmac100_netdev_ops"


8) Why an interrupt handler (ftmac100_interrupt()) needs to block
interrupts with spin_lock_irqsave(&priv->hw_lock, flags); ?

9) Instead of dev_info(&netdev->dev ...) , please consider netdev_info()
