I have heard Dustin's driver works very well on PXA, but on others it 
doesn't even compile (hence why it depends on ARCH_PXA).

Dustin's driver was based on the smc91x code, but these two ethernet 
devices share nothing other than a similar name.  smsc911x is a new, 
completely platform-independent driver with workarounds for several 
hardware issues, and it doesn't suffer from quite as much macro abuse :-)

Regards,
