From a24b163b7c16f9e30e726319115e45ed6e683582 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Don Fry Date: Thu, 25 May 2006 16:22:40 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] pcnet32: remove incorrect pcnet32_free_ring During a code scan for another change I discovered that this call to pcnet32_free_ring must be removed. If the open fails due to a lack of memory all the ring structures are removed via the call to free_ring and a subsequent call to open will dereference a null pointer in pcnet32_init_ring. Please apply to 2.6.17.
