That catches the 'printk( "%s\n", dev->name )' which is OK, but doesn't
catch the:
static char devname[IFNAMSIZ];
static struct net_device wibble { devname, ... };

The PCMCIA drivers are where I am not sure on how to proceed, and could
do with some input.
Some of the plain net drivers have a "char[N] devname" in their private
structure, which was only used to allocate space for "dev->name".
However, the PCMCIA cards use "lp->node.dev_name", but this is used in
a much wider context.
Any ideas?
