I think all syllable network drivers are ports of the linux drivers and 
so you should first look there. Most of them define the linux net_device 
structure in their source file. Many also use a file called 
"linuxcomp.h" which wraps some of the linux commands to syllable. The 
most complete one seems to be in the file in the dp83815 directory. Some 
of the functions can´t be wrapped correctly and you have to change the 
code manually, e.g. the timer and area functions. If you have more 
questions just post here again.
