Thanks!  I'll look into that more.  I had looked at the netlink
sockets in the past but they seemed to require a more complex
interface (ie. I can't just cat/echo commands like in procfs).  I do
like the idea of being able to use netlink and have persistent
connections open (for status updates like in a GUI interface).

I suppose there are not a lot of modules that need this type of
interface.   I noticed that there was at least one other module using
procfs.
