The netcp interface is not fully initialized before attach the module to the interface. For example, the tx pipe/rx pipe is initialized in ethss module as part of attach(). So until this is complete, the interface can't be registered. So move registration of interface to net device outside the current loop that attaches the modules to the interface.
