Here is a one line patch to tlan.o in drivers/net.
It fixes the fact that if you insmod it on any machine, it will
successfully insert itself. If you use this to "probe" for hardware (like
in the TurboLinux Installer), it will give you false "yes"es.
The fix is trivial, and I believe it to be right.
It should probably be included in the next stable, as it is a bug fix.
Ciao!
PS: I maintain the kernel for TurboLinux, my employers.
