I don't believe there's any code which needs fixing in userspace. We just need modprobe.conf to do the right thing when we convert peoples old modules.conf files. The original modprobe defaults to: alias net-pf-10 off unless net-pf-10 is explicitly aliased to something else (ipv6). We therefore just need peoples modprobe.conf files to contain: install net-pf-10 /bin/true provided they haven't aliased net-pf-10 to ipv6. -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: 2.6 PCMCIA - http://pcmcia.arm.linux.org.uk/ 2.6 Serial core
