Kernel 2.6.24 and the capability module [SOLVED]
I installed kernel 2.6.24 from testing today (enabled testing for the whole upgrade) and the capability module is gone. I don't really know much about the module other than avahi uses it. Is it supposed to not be there anymore?
--EDIT--
I filed a report at Flyspray. I don't know is this was intentional, so I filed under "support request".

It's intentional yes. capability is built in the kernel because of a change done upstream.
Thanks.

Re: Kernel 2.6.24 and the capability module [SOLVED]
Does this mean capability can be removed from the modules list in rc.conf?
Thanks.

Yes. I started this thread because I noticed it getting rejected. I honestly have no idea still if any functionality was lost though.

I would really appreciate it if someone could write an article (in the wiki) about some common modules that are used by everyone..
