Re: [PowerPC] Next May 8 boot failure: OOPS during ibmveth moduleinit

Hi Dave,

This fixes it (I wonder if this bug is lurking in any other drivers):

From: Stephen Rothwell <redacted>
Date: Tue, 12 May 2009 17:24:02 +1000
Subject: [PATCH] net/ibmveth: fix panic in probe

netdev->dev_addr changed from being an array to being a pointer, so we
should not take its address for memcpy().
