net->addr_len was not initialized. Could you please try again and report if this helps? If not please add some debug messages using printk() in the network code below register_netdev() in order to see which variables are actually not correctly initialized.
Unfortunately it doesn't really help. I tried it three times and the first
time I thought everything would be fine because I could use dvbtune to setup the
network device. I could also set the IP and the mac address but when I tried tcpdump, the whole system simply hung. I couldn't do anything more. The second time, I could bring the net device up, but I got the typical seg fault when trying to set the ip address. The third time, I couldn't even bring the net device up with dvbtune (seg fault like always).
This strange behaviour seems to be related with some uninitialized variable so I will check that.
If you're interested, I have added the ksymoops for the both seg faults. I couldn't get any info when tcpdump crashed the system.

##### seg fault after dvbtune <..> -n 251
ksymoops 2.4.8 on i686 2.4.20. Options used -V (default) -k /proc/ksyms (default) -l /proc/modules (default) -o /lib/modules/2.4.20/ (default) -m /boot/System.map-2.4.20 (default)
Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information. I will assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution. If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find map, modules, ksyms etc. ksymoops -h explains the options.
