Subject: [PATCH 2/3] gre: add module alias for gre0 tunnel device
Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2010 11:47:48 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101129194805.762508688@vyatta.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20101129194746.724222156@vyatta.com
[-- Attachment #1: gre-alias.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 549 bytes --]
If gre is built as a module the 'ip tunnel add' command would fail because
the ip_gre module was not being autoloaded. Adding an alias for
the gre0 device name cause dev_load() to autoload it when needed.
