Hi!
As I was testing the automatic module loading and unloading
that I and Jacques Gelinas are working on, I found a small
buglet in ppp.c
The following patch makes it possible to unload the ppp module
after having used it... At least I _think_ that I have put
the MOD_INC_USE_COUNT and MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT in the right places
(or should they be in ppp_dev_open() and ppp_dev_close()? ).
Greetings,
Bjorn Ekwall <bj0rn@blox.se>
