ifconfig issue  
Hello.

My driver detect and initialise several instances of the device, a FPGA IP core.

When I run the driver, and i do an ifconfig on a specific interface, it works :

But if I do an ifconfig without specifying the interface the driver crashes while trying to access the media state:

#
# ifconfig
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 33192
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000

Jul 22 16:13:34    5    14     0 men-z087 : destroy the driver
Jul 22 16:13:34    5    21     0 run fault pid 790571 tid 2 signal 11 code 1 ip 0xb0328476 tmp/io-pkt-v4-
hcgvarlet12482704615876
        address: 00:c0:3a:9c:c0:18

The debuger show me that the crash is done on the second call of ifmedia_ioctl() because MAC address can be displayed.

Do you have any idea of the source of the bug ?

Thanks.
Guillaume.
