wimax: i2400m - prevent a possible kernel bug due to missing fw_name string This happened on a machine with a custom hotplug script calling nameif, probably due to slow firmware loading. At the time nameif uses ethtool to gather interface information, i2400m->fw_name is zero and so a null pointer dereference occurs from within i2400m_get_drvinfo().
