>Description:
If you type in "ibcs2" at the shell prompt it loads up both
ibcs2.ko and
ibcs2_coff.ko
however if you specify "ibcs2_enable="YES" then it only loads
ibcs2.ko. To get the coff module loaded you have to specify
"ibcs2_loaders="coff".
>How-To-Repeat:
look in rc.networks.
>Fix:
Roman Shterenzon <roman@harmonic.co.il> came up with the following patch;

which is *very* simple and does the job fine. I can't think of any
cases where you would want ibcs2 and NOT have the coff loader.
