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.
