Ah. True enough.
Outside the modules code, both my patch an Alan's have identical
fixes to init/main.c, as that was needed even for testing.
Inside, there is some small overlap in the net/802 bits as they
relate to modules. The one place we are in direct conflict is
in module.h, for which mine is the correct fix.
Other than that they should be independant as Alan's patch seems
to be primarily network related.
