Same thing for the AppleTalk module.
Thanks a lot for your patch.

But i haven't understood what was the problem, can you explain me?
What does the X() syntax mean? Who build the symbol table? How is the
symbol table built? Is it the kernel symbol table or the module symbol
table? Who does the symbol check when you load a module, and how is it
done?

I know you can't spare a lot of time to answer to these questions, but i'm
really interested. I would like to know because i'm using modules a lot.
