I am trying to write a module for Linux kernel 2.4.20. In my init_module, I call sock_create with AF_INET. It says family not supported. I think this is because my module's init_module gets called before the module that implements AF_INET. I checked this to be true. I am assuming that there must be some way to specify module ordering from the module code itself. Please note that I am statically compiling the module with the kernel so this rules out any solutions that have to do with modifying config files. The module_init is called at boot time and therefore, there must be some way of specifying init call sequence. Thanks for you time. Any pointers will be useful Anjali __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
