I prefer a requirement that all net drivers upgrade to the new interface, otherwise we have odd drivers using the old interface forever and being at risk of module unload. That is why I coded my patch as returning -ENODEV if there was no dev->open. However I have to accept that just before a 2.4 release is not the best time to have a flag day. Put it down for 2.5. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
