Hi,
I've been fighting modules for a while now, and getting things to work nicely and automatically with kerneld and everything. Great stuff!
...except, at boot/shutdown time, I get a lot of failed requests for modules called net-pf-[345]. The only place I've found any reference to them, is in net/socket.c. As far as I can see (and I think I've done rather thorough grepping), that's the one and only mention on my whole system.
The relevant block of code, namely (and I quote):
#ifdef CONFIG_KERNELD /* Attempt to load a protocol module if the find failed. */ if (i < 0) { char module_name[30]; sprintf(module_name,"net-pf-%d",family); request_module(module_name); i = find_protocol_family(family); } #endif
seems to have been added in 1.3.78. Is there any documentation I could read about socket.c? Anybody care to tell a poor kernel-non-hacker what this is supposed to mean, and what I can to to make things work without errors?
Sorry if this is rather trivial...
