Hello,

This patch makes sure we don't dereference a NULL pointer in 
drivers/net/usb/pegasus.c::write_bulk_callback() in the initial 
struct net_device *net = pegasus->net; assignment.
The existing code checks if 'pegasus' is NULL and bails out if 
it is, so we better not touch that pointer until after that check.

Please consider merging.
