Hi,
As you may recall i've started to debug r816x driver: Why it does not
work, and i'm allmost
certain there is something fishy in probeing ... 1st try always fails,
and second try with
my patch seems to work ok.

Something is not done similar way compared to 1st and 2nd load of the
module. I pin pointed,
or have a clue, that a line from drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c witch is
not executed when
loading first time:
static int phy_probe(struct device *dev)
{
struct phy_device *phydev = to_phy_device(dev);
struct device_driver *drv = phydev->mdio.dev.driver;
struct phy_driver *phydrv = to_phy_driver(drv);
int err = 0;
phydev->drv = phydrv; <--- This is never done in probe of
r8169_main.c
That line is not executed when driver is loaded with modprobe, but
when load->remove->reload
cycle is done, it is ok. I have no clue now where to look, but when i
got time i'll start
debugging some more.
