Both the usb-ir and usb-irda modules have the same MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() information, so the linux-hotplug package "automatically loads" both of them when a device is plugged in. This is a userspace configuration option, not a kernel issue. linux-hotplug can be tweaked to only install one of the two modules. I'm pretty sure the distributions will configure things properly, as they have the same problem for lots of other PCI and usb modules. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
