Anonymity has some good attributes. Blame avoidance is one of them. I've broad shoulders. It's me, then Dwight Howard... There might be another few of these where ->name or ->dev was used before struct device or net_device was registered. I'll go back and check. tulip_core has: if (tp->flags & HAS_MEDIA_TABLE) { sprintf(dev->name, DRV_NAME "%d", board_idx); /* hack */ tulip_parse_eeprom(dev); strcpy(dev->name, "eth%d"); /* un-hack */ } So I don't feel _too_ bad. tulip_parse_eeprom is done before register_netdev so the logging there can not use netdev_<level> or dev_<level>(&dev->dev Signed-off-by: NJoe Perches <joe@perches.com> Tested-by: NMikael Pettersson <mikpe@it.uu.se> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.
