>From what I've read on the hotplug mailing lists, Linux is going from 'load-module-at-first-use' to 'load-module-at-first-hw-detection'. Basically, you have to load the modules for your hardware when it is first inserted (or for built in hardware, like cdrom, at bootup), because udev won't load the modules when you try to access the nodes (unlike devfs). -- John L.
