I'm concerned it might be dangerous to load the module in this context, the RTNL semaphore is held and the module we are requesting could easily try to take it and deadlock. Currently we are lucky and this won't happen, but if the sub-proto registration is every changed to do so, it will be a nightmare for whoever is so unlucky to try and debug it. - 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
