In the modern era, if a system has networking it needs TCP/IP and making it modular can't possibly speed it up. There is also reluctance to allow making it easier to replace the existing Linux TCP/IP with a proprietary one which is what the "hidden agenda" of most people who ask. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
