Hi all, most net device drivers have replaced MOD_INC/DEC_USE_COUNT with SET_MODULE_OWNER but SET_MODULE_OWNER doesn't do nothing. Therefore, those modules (though I can only vouch for 8139too) always report 0 use. Some people that had "modprobe -r" in their cronttab found it quite annoying. I'd guess that there's a good reason for why struct net_device doesn't have .owner field and why this happens. Can someone be so kind to point it out?
