Hi all,
after walking through some of NIC drivers and trying to remove check_region()
calls, i have two small questions:
1) many NIC drivers contain (in XXX_probe1 functions) check like this:
if (dev == NULL) {
dev = init_etherdev();
}
but many drivers don't check (dev == NULL) at all. So first question: is this check
and init_etherdev() call really required or this is old crap waiting for removal ?
2) if init_etherdev() is required, than call to unregister_netdevice() is
required too (in case of probe failure), isn't it ?
Best regards,
Andrey
P.S. IMHO my English is especially bad today, so I'm sorry :)
