The %d is normally replaced by the interface number after 
register_netdev is called.  But these error messages are printed in 
arcrimi_found() *before* register_netdev() is called (because the device 
hasn't been found yet).

I'm not sure what the best approach to fixing this is.  Most likely the 
log printouts at that point should not be using the macros that rely on 
dev->name being fully correct.

Cheers,
Dan
