Which looks like rtl_pci_probe is calling rtl_pci_free_rx_ring which is

We have not seen this specific crash since adding the change in my
proposed patch.

After taking another look at the code, I can see paths that would call the free routines incorrectly. Your fix is probably easier that doing it "the right way".

BTW, your mailer mangled the patch. If you don't know how to fix that, attach it to mail and send it to me privately. I'll send it to John.
