I have already seen the code you propose, but it does much more than this: it loads almost *all* modules and I'm not inclined to add this to the default configuration. The debian hotplug package, with my patches, is now able to autoload the modules for most hardware (notably floppy and rtc too), so the only non-autoloaded modules left are ppp_generic and loop. Also, I do not believe that the udev init script should be in the business of loading drivers. -- ciao, | Marco | [7411 pePSA8Hje7qDQ] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG.
