Not really, the device management inits as subsys, the ip layer hooks into fs_initcall() which comes right after. The loopback was actually registered after the protocol so far. I think Adrian's patch is fine if the module_init() is changed to device_initcall(). - 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
