: (Oh, and _where_ does modprobe get that string (i.e. "net-pf-3")? I can't find anything like it in the
: kernel source tree... I'm guessing the "3" is the index into the protocol family table...)

net/socket.c generates the 'net-pf-'. The rest is done from the arguments to
the 'socket' syscall that generated the request.
