The disclosure provides a method and system for loading a first and second Internet Protocol network communication stacks in an information handling system (IHS). The method and system include loading the first Internet Protocol network communication stack and creating and registering a module management kernel thread to automatically load the second Internet Protocol network stack only when called upon. The kernel thread registers with the IHS′ kernel socket layer and Ethernet driver to receive notice of calls corresponding to the second Internet Protocol network communication stack. Upon receiving notice, the kernel thread loads the second Internet Protocol network communication stack and subsequently deregisters from the IHS′ kernel socket layer and Ethernet driver.
