Hi Florian, > OK, so here is what is happening: macb_mii_init() calls macb_mii_probe() > and so by the time we call phy_connect_direct(), we have not called > register_netdevice() yet, netdev_register_kobject() has not been called > either, and so sysfs_create_link() fails.... I just found same thing. Yes, register_netdev() was not called at phy_connect_direct() time.
