Hi Dave, This fixes it (I wonder if this bug is lurking in any other drivers): From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 12 May 2009 17:24:02 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] net/ibmveth: fix panic in probe netdev->dev_addr changed from being an array to being a pointer, so we should not take its address for memcpy().
