Hi,

As you may recall i've started to debug r816x driver: Why it does not 
work, and i'm allmost

certain there is something fishy in probeing ... 1st try always fails, 
and second try with

my patch seems to work ok.

Something is not done similar way compared to 1st and 2nd load of the 
module. I pin pointed,

or have a clue, that a line from drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c witch is 
not executed when

loading first time:

static int phy_probe(struct device *dev)
{
        struct phy_device *phydev = to_phy_device(dev);
        struct device_driver *drv = phydev->mdio.dev.driver;
        struct phy_driver *phydrv = to_phy_driver(drv);
        int err = 0;

        phydev->drv = phydrv; <--- This is never done in probe of 
r8169_main.c


That line is not executed when driver is loaded with modprobe, but 
when load->remove->reload

cycle is done, it is ok. I have no clue now where to look, but when i 
got time i'll start

debugging some more.
