register_netdev usage

[Raghava Vatsavayi]

Hi,

Please clarify any issues with ?register_netdev?
usage. Like I have seen strange behaviour with 2.6.5-7
kernel on PPC64 platform in my network driver:

When ?register_netdev? is not called at the end of my
probe function ?s2io_init_nic?  but some where in
middle of probe function, then s2io_open gets called
even though I was just doing insmod. But this issue
goes away when I push register_netdev to the end of
probe function.

So why is it like this, is this expected behaviour???

Please mail me at rajuraghava@xxxxxxxxx as I did?t
subscribe.

Regards
Raghava.
