Hi,

I just noticed that a Wireshark trace is showing up Ethernet frames like
the following, coming *from* a Bering-uClibc 4 machine:
        Broadcast       AoE     Query Config Information Request

I am not that familiar with AoE (ATA over Ethernet), but I'm thinking
that I would rather not have it do that - at least not on a firewall. I
thought there might be a kernel module I could disable, but no.

Confirmation that the code is enabled:
    # grep  aoe /var/log/dmesg 
    [    0.687768] aoe: AoE v47 initialised.

In the kernel .config we have:
    CONFIG_ATA_OVER_ETH=y

Does anybody mind if we make that a module instead?
