The name "hwdetect" is misleading. The more interesting part of hwdetect now is loading modules from /etc/modules rather than loading hardware. This way I can add pppoe to /etc/modules, run hwdtect (of "f" from lrcfg menu) and get pppoe and modules it depends on (ppp*) loaded without reboot.

It is a leftover from the old > linuxrc which may have survived. I've made my work on removing moddb traces available as remote repository (remove_moddb) - pls review before it will be merged! Maybe the leftover is solved as well. thx kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transform Data into Opportunity.
