I think it's a bug in dev.c:
--- linux/net/core/dev.c~ Sun Feb 27 17:53:51 2000 +++ linux/net/core/dev.c Sun Feb 27 17:54:06 2000 @@ -2128,6 +2128,7 @@ dev->iflink = dev->ifindex; if (dev->rebuild_header == NULL) dev->rebuild_header = default_rebuild_header; + set_bit(__LINK_STATE_PRESENT, &dev->state); dev_init_scheduler(dev); } } It would be nice if this code and the code in register_netdevice could be unified in some common function..
