The kernel developers have moved away from 'load module at use', like we had in the 2.4 series. They're moving to a 'load module at hardware detection' instead. Meaning, you use hotplug which loads your usb modules when you plug in a usb device for instance. That also means that hardware that doesn't get plugged in (like serial, parallell ports, cd/dvd devices, floppy etc), needs to have their modules loaded at all time. Unless you still want to use devfs. -- John L. Fjellstad web: http://www.fjellstad.org/ Quis custodiet ipsos custodes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
