From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2003 12:20:02 -0700 Here is a third version. It checks register_netdev() which could fail and moves the register and try_module up to correctly handle the unwind case. Your original patch is in Linus's tree, so you'll need to submit something relative to that so that I can apply it cleanly. Thanks. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
