Date:	Fri, 04 Apr 2008 18:10:52 +0400
From:	Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@...nvz.org>
To:	Linux Netdev List <netdev@...r.kernel.org>
Subject: [RFC][PATCH 1/3] Introduce the net_device_ops structure.

And fill it with copied from net_device.

Also make newly created devices be assigned to the 
(currently empty) nd_default_ops.
