I call your bluff, everything is already covered in the current kernel. Having information in two places leads to synchronization issues. alias net-pf-1 unix net/unix/af_unix.c alias net-pf-2 ipv4 net/ipv4/af_inet.c alias net-pf-3 ax25 net/ax25/af_ax25.c alias net-pf-4 ipx net/ipx/af_ipx.c alias net-pf-5 appletalk net/appletalk/ddp.c alias net-pf-6 netrom net/netrom/af_netrom.c alias net-pf-7 bridge (there is no PF_BRIDGE it was never used). alias net-pf-8 atm net/atm/common.c alias net-pf-9 x25 net/x25/af_x25.c alias net-pf-10 ipv6 net/ipv6/af_inet6.c alias net-pf-11 rose net/rose/af_rose.c alias net-pf-12 decnet net/decnet/af_decnet.c alias net-pf-15 af_key net/key/af_key.c alias net-pf-16 af_netlink (netlink is never a module!) alias net-pf-17 af_packet net/packet/af_packet.c alias net-pf-19 af_econet net/econet/af_conet.c alias net-pf-20 atm net/atm/commmon.c alias net-pf-23 irda net/irda/irmod.c alias net-pf-24 pppoe drivers/net/pppoe.c alias net-pf-25 wanrouter (sangoma wanrouter is no longer supported) alias net-pf-26 llc (wrong should be llc2 from net/llc/af_llc.c) alias net-pf-31 bluetooth net/bluetooth/af_bluetooth.c Missing from your file are: CAN, PHONET, TIPC, basically anything that was done in last 2 years. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
