I agree. So a first patch would be the renaming, editing the affected 
boards *.h and the Makefile in drivers/net:
COBJS-$(CONFIG_ENC28J60) += enc28j60.o
to
COBJS-$(CONFIG_ENC28J60_LPC2292) += enc28j60_lpc2292.o

In the same patch extract the 200 or so defines for the chip to 
enc28j60.h (to be used by both drivers).

One issue remains: the old driver has a lot of coding style violations, 
I can fix them, but see no point in that. The new driver will have them 
fixed.

But before I proceed I need Bens OK to go that way:)
