Hi, Matt,

Perhaps I'm missing something, but how do we successfully return from
netpoll_setup without np->dev filled in? Netpoll_setup has the following:

if (!ndev->poll_controller) {
printk(KERN_ERR "%s: %s doesn't support polling, aborting.\n",
np->name, np->dev_name);
goto release;
}


Thanks,

Jeff
