Kai made some changes about net_dev_init ...

<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
        Make net_dev_init() an __initcall

        If you were looking to find where net_dev_init() is called, you
wouldn'
t
        have guessed it's in drivers/block/genhd.c, would you?

        Nothing should break if the __initcall net_dev_init is called too
late
        now, since register_netdevice() will call it for us in that case.

With my poor knowledge I guess this could be it?! If you are sure it's not
the 8139too driver.

Axel
