Thanks for the reply. I wanted to eliminate duplicate loading to reduce boot time. How to know which ie discover, hotplug or udev is loading which modules and how to avoid duplication. One more interesting point and also puzzle for me. I have homepc with A7N8X deluxe mb with amd athlon 2400+. mb has two ethernet ports one 3com and other forcedeth. Normally 3com port is configured as eth1. As per my /etc/network/interfaces, it is configured as 192.168.0.1 as below Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:26:54:0E:8E:C0 inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
but when I removed discover1 to remove duplicate loading of modules, ifconfig gives me following for 3com eth1 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-E0-18-00-00-23-C1-AD-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 Here I couldn't connect to this pc from laptop. Once again when I installed discover1, I got back eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:26:54:0E:8E:C0 inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 and laptop could connect.
