Hi folks,

I've been working on a FDDI device driver module (using MODVERSIONS),
and I've noticed that it was necessary to modify the list of symbols in
net/netsyms.c to include both "fddi_setup" and "fddi_type_trans". This
was under 2.0.35. I downloaded 2.1.117 and made the necessary changes
to the driver, and I noticed that I still had to add an EXPORT line in
netsyms.c for "fddi_setup" (although "fddi_type_trans" was included that
time).

Was this simply an oversight or am I missing something? In case it was
an oversight, here's a patch against the clean 2.1.117 source for it.
