Saying "y" would let users try both drivers. That is up to the distros or other kernel builders to choose. At present, they have no choice but to let the two drivers race to see who gets loaded first or whatever. I imagine that some would prefer to have an option that prevents that. > The description also isn't saying too much.

The summary line could be different as well, if you can think of a better way to describe the issue. I am open to suggestions. John -- John W.
