The code that we have that writes the initial network configuration that maps mac addresses <-> device names (so that we handle modules loaded in arbitrary order) associates network devices with physical devices by following net:XXXX symlinks in /sys/bus/pci/devices/XXX, /sys/bus/pcmcia/devices/XXXX, /sys/bus/xen/devices/XXX, etc. The new code (that removes those links) breaks this hard, and rearchitecting everything to have a second pass that walks /sys/class/net/XXX links and associates them with already probed/discovered devices is not something I'm doing at this stage of the freeze.
