You are right. Apology for the previous patch. I test my old patch
below in the local workspace, it works.

However, the compiler complains the declaration of newpnetdev. So I
moved the declaration to the beginning, but I forget to initialize
both two variables. :(

I will revise this problem and test it in my local workspace. If it
works, I will resend a v2 patch.

BTW, should I uncomment "r8712_stop_drv_timers" and
"r871x_dev_unload"? I am not very sure about its functionability.
