During boot I get the following oops in the Hercules emulator. 2.6.22 runs fine on Hercules; I've not tried .23 on it.[...]quoted

Can you try the following (untested) patch? I also CCed Ursula and Peter as they know the ctc code better than me.
Can you instead change the allocation to be alloc_netdev instead of just a plain old kzalloc. That will fix the problem in a much more forward compatible way. The current code is also going to have problems with dynamically sized array at the end of struct net_device. You ought to also be able to make the allocation unconditional as that function only has one caller and it does not pass in a struct net_device. Eric
