In eth_init(), eth_get_dev() can return NULL. We should do sanity test on eth dev before calling its start function.

current = eth_get_dev(); if (!current) { printf("No ethernet found.\n"); return -ENODEV; }But this does not help. Each time eth_get_dev() is called, current can be NULL as driver's probe can fail.
If that's the issue you are hitting it seems like you should attempt to skip the device instead of printing the message. It doesn't make sense to me to move to the next device and then print that there is no Ethernet.
Also, this is fundamental to the eth subsystem. You should add a unit test that fails in your case.
