Thank you. This is not a bad solution to the symbol export problem, for now. I noticed that there is no need for the module symbol export of xfrm6_output() you added, because xfrm6_output.o and xfrm6_state.o always get linked together. So I will remove that: +EXPORT_SYMBOL(xfrm6_output); part of the first patch. We see so many issues with ipv6 symbols dependencies in various subsystems (netfilter, xfrm, etc.). It is a sign that we need some kind of long range plan to deal with this problem. Since the ipv6 module can't be unloaded anyways, and it's been broken like that forever, it might make sense to make ipv6 only available non-modular. I know people would dislike this, but the current situation isn't good either. Thanks again. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
