I'd like to see a centralized package for handling the loading of the openipmi drivers. Right now it seems to be a requirement for any package that uses ipmi to load the drivers itself, which results in duplicated code. It would be nice to be able to declare a dependency on a package, and be able to assume that package at tried to load the openipmi modules.
It would be ideal, imo, if udev could handle this but, from what I can tell, the openipmi hardware causes no kernel trigger that would result in a callout to udev. My suggestion would be to either add an initscript to the openipmi package or, if there's a reason to install openipmi w/o having the modules loaded, add a second optional package that handles module loading (e.g. openipmi-support). -- dann frazier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
