The real problem is the whole VELOCITY_PRT() private debug log
control business this driver is doing.

It should be using the standard netdev logging level infrastructure.

You can't tell me that this "KERN_INFO blah blah blah" is really
something we should add more of these days, right?

If you're going to improve this driver's logging code please do
so by having it use the standard interfaces.

Thanks.
