Actually, isn't the real problem that there is no way to tell modules *not* to take charge of certain devices, by way of some simple configuration in /etc (short of blacklisting the entire module, or draconian measures such as removing PCI IDs from the source code)?
Is the kernel community considering such a mechanism? It seems to me that it would greatly simplify this sort of problem, both to distribution packagers and end users. It is generally great to have a choice of drivers for the same device; the development and deployment of new drivers is simplified because they can be shipped along with old ones, etc. Justus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
