Hi Marek,

the problem seems to be a little bit more complex. Your latest patch does 
not solve the problem.

But I found out, that commenting out the following line in your patch 
makes bat0 work:

slave->master = master;

But as this is the core of "enslaving" a device to a master device, this 
breaks the complete concept behind this I guess (I'm not a skilled kernel 
developer). From this I conclude that there might be a bug somewhere 
deeper in the kernel version I use.  I don't want to give up too early, 
but it looks a little bit as if this "enslaving concept using rtnl" might 
not be usable in these older kernels. What do you think?

Regards,
Andreas
