I'm working in a 2.4.x platform and discover that I need to check for a module symbol. Then I decided that I should do it in such a way that no changes will be required at the moment of porting the code to 2.6, and then I came across with this thread. What's the programmatical way of checking for the presence of symbol and getting its address? - thanks, Rodrigo
