Fortunality everything still works fine (I'm running the script over the 
network of the syskonnect cards).

This machine has two of those syskonnect cards, on another machine which has 
only one syskonnect card this oops doesn't occur.
As a colleteral damage the following huge patch should fix it, and I need
testers for it anyway ;-)
Actually the problem sits deeper.  sk98line tries to register a procfile with
the interfacename of the struct net_device.  The patch below (ontop of
the previous one) makes it work unless you change the interface name manually,
but as Linux explicitly allows that the interface is fundamentally broken and
probably should just go away.
