I believe warning messages with \n on more than one end are frowned upon.

Look closely at the patch, the warning message above has to do the same 
thing. Without the leading \n on the message, it prints directly after 
the ethernet chip name, with no space. This is not right. I chose to 
copy the existing code, rather than add a leading space.

Just because original code has an error does not make it right to 
reproduce it. :)

More seriously, heterogeneous \n placement makes it complicated to get 
and keep printing right -- for instance here the warning messages have a 
trailing \n but the code loop adds one at the end.

I would prefer that the code do a first loop (while dev!= eth_devices) 
to try and set up ethernet devices, emitting simple "warning\n" messages 
as needed, then a second loop (for dev=0 to eth_number-1) to print a 
summary of the final list of eth devices found and initialized.

Amicalement,
