I suggest you read drivers/net/ethernet numerous examples.

No need to change anything  in net/* or include/*, really.

For a start, look at drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_main.c

Mentioning 'hack' in your mails simply should hint you are doing
something very wrong.

What makes you think your hardware is so special ?
