Note that a lot of error paths were not caught.  In the typical driver 
you have:

->probe()

	dev = alloc_etherdev()
	blah_probe()
	if blah_probe() fails
		goto err_out
	register_netdev()
	return 0;

     err_out:
	kfree(dev);


->remove()
	free_netdev(dev);



The "kfree" needs to be a free_netdev() too.
