I guess your objection is to my usage of MODULE_ALIAS, right?

I think there is no serious reason to stick with current driver name anyway. --- Atsushi Nemoto - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
