#7 Problem with Linux kernel version with only 2 components

If a kernel version with only major and minor components is found, function kernel_version() in lib/util.c returns -1 and then triggers this code in lib/sockets.c:

if (kernel_version() < KRELEASE(2, 1, 0))
force = 1;

It then causes ifconfig command to load automatically rose, netrom and ax25 modules.

I've patched the corresponding line and my system was fixed. Please double check there are no further implications.

Thanks!
