Package: module-init-tools
Version: 3.4-1
Severity: normal

The entry for PF_LLC (26) in /etc/modprobe.d/aliases is incorrect. 
The module name is llc2 not llc.

BUT the whole list of module names for protocols is a leftover 2.4 kernel 
thing and should be removed. In 2.6 kernel the kernel has a way for modules
to identify there own module aliases correctly.

$ modinfo llc2
filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.29-rc5-next/kernel/net/llc/llc2.ko
alias:          net-pf-26
description:    IEEE 802.2 PF_LLC support
author:         Procom 1997, Jay Schullist 2001, Arnaldo C. Melo 2001-2003
license:        GPL
depends:        llc
vermagic:       2.6.29-rc5-next SMP mod_unload modversions 

Therefore distributions should not have the aliases for protocols in 
/etc/modprobe.d/aliases.

This is mostly fixed (still a few leftovers) in Fedora
