Subject: [BUG 2.6.34-rc1] bogus "(null)" in tulip init messages

Booting 2.6.34-rc1 on a machine with a tulip nic I see
a number of kernel messages that include "(null)" where
previous kernels included the string "tulip0":

--- dmesg-2.6.33	2010-02-26 12:58:32.000000000 +0100
+++ dmesg-2.6.34-rc1	2010-03-10 16:17:06.000000000 +0100
...

Apart from this the tulip driver seems to work in 2.6.34-rc1.
