Well, i was lying slightly. The driver I had to do this for was natsemi, and the reason I did it was that placing natsemi in /etc/modules didn't work. Rather than spending another couple of hours of my time and my boss's money working out how to do it cleanly, I simply applied the ugly hack. I could of course put a conditional around it for when the module is already loaded, and I probably will one day unless I can magically work out how to autoload the thing in the mean time without applying any effort... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
