[PATCH] pcnet32: remove incorrect pcnet32_free_ring
During a code scan for another change I discovered that this call to pcnet32_free_ring must be removed. If the open fails due to a lack of memory all the ring structures are removed via the call to free_ring and a subsequent call to open will dereference a null pointer in pcnet32_init_ring. Please apply to 2.6.17. Signed-off-by: Don Fry <brazilnut@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
