A few hints would be appreciated.

Remove the call to netif_stop_queue() from emac_probe().  Apparently,
calling this before register_netdev() is now wrong (maybe always was).

Right.

I'll add this to net-2.6

ibm_newemac: Remove netif_stop_queue() in emac_probe().

Touching the queue state before register_netdev is not
allowed, and besides the queue state before ->open()
is "don't care"
