When did that happen?  My sources (2.2.5, RH 6.0 :-) don't have anything like 
that.  I guess that explains why I'm getting away with so much.

Maybe you shouldn't run such a secure OS :-)

So, your idea of passing the fd into the helper for setup seems like a good 
one.  The problem is that I'm planning on retiring the umn device in favor of 
the eth device at some point, so I don't exactly feel like putting time into 
it.  If someone else wants to, I'll merge the changes, though.
