Subject: [PATCH] [2.6.22] Fix a potential NULL pointer dereference in mace_interrupt() in drivers/net/pcmcia/nmclan_cs.c

From: Micah Gruber <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2007 10:44:56 +0800

This patch fixes a potential null dereference bug where we dereference 
DEV before a null check. This patch simply moves the dereferencing after 
the null check.
