Oddly enough, Alan Stern posted a patch to remove assumptions about having an interface just last week. I can try to dig it out.

Comment on attachment 127425 [details] /var/log/messages of boot with oops I get this one quite often as well...
Robert, please test one of update kernels from here: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/i386/ It's at 2.6.17-1.2145_FC5 currently. I think the zero-interface device issue was fixed in 2.6.17. If that fails, I look closer.
I have not seen this in recent kernel versions (though I can't say for certain that it is fixed as it was never very reproducible). Unless anyone has seen this in recent kernels it can likely be marked as resolved.
OK, I'll close at "currentrelease"+2.6.17-1.2145_FC5.
