Do you have any particular suggestions as to what to check out, or is
this just a general 'debug more' instruction?

Ah, I see. So, prior to line 1266's call to register_netdev, it will
always be uninitialized and unnamed, regardless of what is or isn't
right elsewhere. Good to know. So, I could replace these netdev_err
with dev_err for now, up until that point, so I can get a bit more info,
yes?
