I saw your patch and tried to apply it. It was able to build but failed 
to insert the module. I updated to fresh CVS this afternoon and I had 
'/var/log/message' complaints on the ifname parameter sections (when 
modprobe'd) so i just commented out lines 61 and 62 also removed the 
ifname option line from /etc/modules.conf. Obviously not the preferred 
solution but i am at least on the internet on this testing machine. -mf
