There are many good examples.  You first looked at 3c501.c, which is the
worst example.  It was converted to use modules by someone that didn't
understand the need for multiple network interfaces, and was never fixed
because no one in their right mind (Alan) uses 3c501 cards.

I've published pci-skeleton.c as an example for many years, and before
that skeleton.c (which should be considered "isa-skeleton.c")
