Patches to add MODULE_VERSION lines to several network drivers... Here is the list:have you checked if the version of these drivers is actually useful? (eg updated when the driver changes) If it's not I'd say adding a MODULE_VERSION to it makes no sense whatsoever.
Why do I feel like I'm being baited...? :-) I would have to suspect that if a version string exists, that it has at least some meaning to the primary developers/maintainters. It certainly is beyond my control to force the maintainers to give meaning to their version strings. Is this a political statement against the MODULE_VERSION macro and/or its purpose? I'm not overly interested in debating that one... John -- John W. Linville linville@tuxdriver.com
