The driver's module name is 'ps3_gelic.ko' and the souce file names are
'gelic_net.{c,h}'.  As Geoff Levand said in the mail dated June 16, we
have plan to add wireless support and its file name would be gelic_wireless.c.
If this support added, the make file would be:

  obj-$(CONFIG_GELIC_NET) += ps3_gelic.o
  gelic-$(CONFIG_GELIC_WIRELESS) += gelic_wireless.o
  ps3_gelic-objs += gelic_net.o $(gelic-y)

To avoid from changing the module name after adding wireless support, I
submitted with that name.


If the make file were like:

  obj-$(CONFIG_GELIC_NET) += gelic_net.o
  obj-$(CONFIG_GELIC_WIRELESS) += gelic_wireless.o

then we would get two modules gelic_net.ko and gelic_wireless.ko, which
we don't want.
