The functions of cPCI-8168's software drivers use full-names to
represent the functions' real meaning. The naming convention
rules are :
In 'C' programming Environment:
_{hardware_model}_{action_name}. e.g. _8168_Initial().
In order to recognize the difference between C library and VB
library, a capital "B" is put on the head of each function name e.g.
B_8168_Initial().
