At the end of netdev_init() you call netdev_register(). From that
point on, you device is live. Its .ndo's can be called....

How well does the device work if it has not allocated the rings yet,
when it is asked to do something?

How well do it work without interrupts being set up?

Probably the correct place to register the netdev is here.
