Re: [PATCH] appletalk: Pass IP-over-DDP packets through when 'ipddp0' interface is not present

Let userspace programs transmit and receive raw IP-over-DDP packets
with a kernel where "ipddp" was compiled as a module but is not loaded
(so no "ipddp0" network interface is exposed).  This makes the "module
is not loaded" behavior match the "module was never compiled" behavior.

I think a better approache is to somehow autoload the module.
