Subject: RTNL: assertion failed at net/core/dev.c

Wow, I should really update more often. Skipping the last -rc versions 
AND adding a new device (zd1211rw) to the box turns out to be quite 
interesting ([0],[1]).

However, this time loading of a (proprietary) module is involved. Knowing
that lkml cannot really help here (and I should contact vmware), I just 
wanted to let you netdev guys know, because the only occurences I found 
on the net were from 1999, but given the amount of changes currently 
going into net/ I thought this might be interesting:
