Subject: [PATCH] dvb-net -- allocate network device structures
Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2003 17:22:57 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20031007172257.7dff3075.shemminger@osdl.org> (raw)
This patch to 2.6.0-test6 converts the DVB net driver to allocate network
devices structures in a manner similar to other network devices in 2.6 by
using alloc_netdev. Instead of an array of structures, and array of pointers
is used.
This solves the problem of OOPS when the following is done.
rmmod dvb_net </sys/class/net/dvb0_0/mtu
Built, but not tested on real hardware.
