Maybe I slept through some old thread about this, but nothing came out of searching Google about this: why do I have so many similarly named modules in my kernel? who is the clown who decided to break some very basic naming conventions of module filenames and give me a small heart attack?

Now I just need to know why this makes sense to whoever is maintaining this code (Rusty?) and how come I have not found any info about this with any combination of relevant search terms... -- Tool of the trade Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
