For autoloading modules when hardware is hotplugged:
# in /etc/mdev.conf:
$MODALIAS=.* root:root 0660 @modprobe -b "$MODALIAS"
For autoloading modules when hardware is coldplugged, roughly as per
Alpine Linux hwdrivers script:
# in rc.sysinit or an init script:
find /sys/devices -name modalias -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sort -u | \
xargs modprobe -ab 2>/dev/null
Alternately:
# grepping in uevent:
grep -h MODALIAS /sys/bus/*/devices/*/uevent 2>/dev/null |cut -d = -f 2 \
| sort -u | xargs modprobe -ab 2>/dev/null
# or using modalias:
sort -u /sys/bus/*/devices/*/modalias 2>/dev/null \
| xargs modprobe -ab 2>/dev/null
"sort -u" is not really necessary; it makes the modules load in a predictable
order while removing some duplicates, so that interfaces and devices will
be named consistently.
