I think that the new system of dynamically loading kernel modules
isn't yet as polished.  To that end, here's what I had to add to
conf.modules to fix these problems.

    alias ftape zft-compressor

    # Diald 0.16.5 needs this alias
    alias net-pf-17 af_packet

    # Defined in /usr/include/linux/ppp-comp.h
    alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp          # CI_BSD_COMPRESS
    alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate       # CI_DEFLATE
    alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate       # CI_DEFLATE_DRAFT

    # For printing!
    alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc

    # I don't have these, so don't warn me.
    alias net-pf-3 off      # ax25
    alias net-pf-4 off      # ipx
    alias net-pf-5 off      # appletalk

Yours sincerely,
