So, what's the equivalent or similar command to "network restart" on SLES12? Could
you update the command line for the usermodehelper when porting this patch to SLES
12?

No, you are not going to keep the usermodehelper invocation in your driver
please remove it.  It is absolutely inappropriate, and I strictly do not want
to keep it in there because other people will copy it and then we'll have a
real mess on our hands.

Sorry for digging up this old thread.
While talking with some guys about usermodehelper abuses I came across this gem.
Mainline still contains that "/etc/init.d/network restart" code.
Haiyang, care to cleanup?
