So I don't think this code has changed in a while. Al, Eric, ideas? > config: http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/config-sony.txt > dmesg: http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/dmesg-sony-without.txt That whole thing should just be a simple symlink: fs/proc/proc_net.c: proc_symlink("net", NULL, "self/net"); are you sure it's a plain tree of mine, without any of the patches floating around between Eric/Al?
