Agreed. However, I was simply trying to fix a problem that prevents IPv6 from working, not fix every little thing wrong with the code. While I want to tackle re-writing the driver to be more in line with existing network drivers, that's a future project. I'm still new to driver development/kernel work in general, so I'm learning here.
