Subjectnet/socket.c and kerneld
From
Date

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...
