To be honest, that sounds like the pot calling the kettle black.
Seriously tho, you keep ignoring what I've been saying, and I don't know
why.
So I'm going and fixing the ohci and ehci drivers. I'll send a patch
when I get the chance to test it (not just compile it).

Sorry, it's from unregister_netdevice, but given the implementation of
unregister_netdev, I figured it might be more worthwhile to look at.
>From linux-2.5.15/drivers/net/net_init.c:
void unregister_netdev(struct net_device *dev)
{
rtnl_lock();
unregister_netdevice(dev);
rtnl_unlock();
}
Why isn't it applicable?

I don't see where net->stop is, do you mean dev->uninit or something?
Anyway, I don't really see where the analogy is between these are tho.
