I went and looked at the git log detail of the net_device_ops change (
commit d314774cf2cd5dfeb39a00d37deee65d4c627927
Author: Stephen Hemminger <shemmin...@vyatta.com>
Date: Wed Nov 19 21:32:24 2008 -0800) and it was introduced in 2.6.28,
actually. But we are both right! The change allows for optional backward
compatibility, while emitting a warning. The default is yes:
CONFIG_COMPAT_NET_DEV_OPS/COMPAT_NET_DEV_OPS=y .
So I left it at 'yes' (fedora 11 vendor kernel in one of my boxes, custom
kernel on the other box, but I normally just do 'make oldconfig', so I
inherited the default) in both of my boxes.
It seems that you have opted for 'no' manually, so you needed to migrate to the
net_device_ops api structure right away. Interesting differences - same source
tree, just different kernel build options. Mystery solved. :-)
