[PATCH] Re: test11-pre5

From: Dan Aloni (karrde@callisto.yi.org)
Date: Tue Nov 14 2000 - 17:45:36 EST

against: test11-pre5
summery: dev_3c501.name shouldn't be NULL, or we get oops
reason: Correct me if I'm wrong, but 3c501.c:init_module() calls
net_init.c:register_netdev(&dev_3c501), which calls strchr(),
{and might also,which might} dereference dev_3c501.name.
