RE: FCC Ethernet startup crash

Ahhh....
I see what happened....
Basically only the last part of that patch has been applied to the 2.6
kernels..

fcc_restart gets called both in init_fcc_startup *and* fcc_open.

I'll try to remove the fcc_restart in init_fcc_startup, and see what
happens.

This has been mentioned on this list several times before, but the
worarounds that used to work doesn't seem to work anymore.
(like changing the order of things in ip_init())

As far as I can tell, it is because the FCC enet drivers starts to
receive packets way before the ip stack is initialized.

Does anybody have any good ideas on how to fix this?

Maybe you want to try my version:

Or is it equal to your (no longer working) solution?
