Hi, I'll take a look. I my case the bug is 100% reproducible, that is every time I unload the kernel module or boot scripts rename the net interface I hit the bug. If I mitigate the bug with the changes to the code the problem goes away, at least to the extent that I haven't run into it again. That said, I'm unsure as to the root cause of my problem so this is interesting.
