I'd appreciate you proposing a patch.
Please note that we're also planning to rework the networking startup
scripts, and to add IPv6 support.
Simon did some work on this, but never contributed any code. Simon -
are you still around? Can you please share your work-in-progress such
that we take a look and possibly have another person start from there?
Piotr - for something relatively minor like this, I am OK with us
committing a patch against our current scripts first.

I don't mind a startup script modprobe'ing a very specific module, like
the above.
