[PATCH 2.6.15-rc2] b44: missing netif_wake_queue() in b44_open()

[Mark Lord <lkml@rtr.ca>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 719 bytes --]

This patch fixes a problem plaguing Dell notebooks with
built-in b44 ethernet:  The driver refuses to transmit packets
of any kind until after the first 5-second tx_timeout occurs.
This bug causes DHCP negotiation to fail (timeout) during
installation of Ubuntu Linux.

One-liner fix.  Please review (and apply if you like it).
