PATCH 2.4.3.7: net drvr probe fix

Jeff Garzik (jgarzik@mandrakesoft.com)
Sun, 25 Mar 2001 16:41:58 -0600


The attached patch provides a solution for the problem where an
interface is not completely ready by the time /sbin/hotplug is called,
from init_etherdev. The patch also includes semi-related cleanups and
fixes found along the way.

Changes:
* Add alloc_etherdev, alloc_fddidev, alloc_hippi_dev, alloc_trdev, alloc_fcdev
* Add register_hipdev for API completeness
* Add inline source docs for init_fddidev, init_hippi_dev, init_trdev,
init_fcdev
* Move EXPORT_SYMBOL for public functions from net/netsyms.c to
drivers/net/net_init.c.
* Remove duplicate code by making unregister_foo functions simply call
unregister_netdev()
* Remove duplicate code by making register_foo functions simply call
new static function __register_netdev()
* Propagate returned error codes in register_netdev()
* Rename private tr_configure() to public tr_setup(), and remove no-op
tr_setup() function.
