So here you go. Most stuff is compiled as modules, shouldn't be a
problem using them.
Just put the following in your /etc/modutils/aliases:
alias net-pf-3 ax25
alias net-pf-6 netrom
alias net-pf-11 rose
alias net-pf-17 af_packet
and run update-modules as root.
You also might need:
alias nr0 netrom
alias scc0 scc
alias bpq0 bpqether
etc.
