Marek,
Thank you so much for your review.
The LAN78xx's register addresses and bit definitions are not compatible to our old part LAN95xx (==SMSC95xx).
The new devices LAN78xx and LAN75xx device have similarities. I plan to support these two devices in this driver.
I will take care of all your comments and will submit a new PATCH with a file name change to lan7x.c.

Best Regards,
Yuiko
