Changing inet_init to fs_initcall() moves it way up the chain... There are quite a few __initcall()s (way is this mapped to device_initcall()?) and module_init()s in places where I would never have expected them (e.g. kernel/). After all the dependencies are anything but obvious to me. The only obvious solution which fixes my problem would be to convert qeth's module_init() to late_initcall(). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
