From b47300168e770b60ab96c8924854c3b0eb4260eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2008 15:33:54 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] net: Do not fire linkwatch events until the device is registered. Several device drivers try to do things like netif_carrier_off() before register_netdev() is invoked. This is bogus, but too many drivers do this to fix them all up in one go.
