That was an oversight on my part. Change the code at 7527 from: if ( PCI_SLOT(temp_p->pci_device_fn) == PCI_SLOT(current_p->pci_device_fn) ) to: if ( (current_p) && (PCI_SLOT(temp_p->pci_device_fn) == PCI_SLOT(current_p->pci_device_fn)) )
and that should solve the problem (updated in my sources now).
