RF class driver

[Daniel.]

I have a driver for nRF24L01+ (not L0) I'm planing to submit it to
main line but before that I was trying to make it a network device. My
dificult was to make it fit in the ethernet world since it does not
have anything in common to a network card. This one can be found here:
https://bitbucket.org/danielhilst/nrf24 the network try is here, but
is not finished: https://bitbucket.org/danielhilst/nrf24l01p
