Subject: tethering: Fix bridge module loading problem
X-Git-Tag: 1.7~36
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4fe07dfed4f720136ee142e56a9d43242c8c78dc;p=platform%2Fupstream%2Fconnman.git

tethering: Fix bridge module loading problem

Connman tries to check if bridging is supported by the kernel by checking
whether "/proc/sys/net/bridge" is present. If the bridge is a kernel
module which is not already loaded, then tethering cannot be enabled.

Instead of checking for the file we invoke the "get bridge version" socket
ioctl and the kernel will handle module loading issues - if the bridge
module is not loaded, it will first load it, and then check the version.
