Can we maybe change the dummy device weight as emacs get added to a MAL ? Dave, the main point of my initial email was: should we provide a routine from the net core to initialize such dummy devices properly ? I'm a little worried that some day, the NAPI code will change and the initialisations done by the driver will not be enough anymore...
