Hi.

I would like to insert a wifi driver module and load the firmware for
the device on boot. I have few problems though.

1. The driver module is not autoloaded on the device boot.
2. I need to load the firmware using separate command.
3. The firmware binaries are on partitions mounted with /etc/fstab so I
need to load the firmware late in the boot process.

So far I added a modprobe.d configuration file that launches firmware
load after inserting the module. But it escalates point 3 to late module
loading.

Then I modified rc.sysinit to do "modprobe tiwlan_drv" just before
launching connmand. (I add it to rc.sysinit by a sed call in my image
kickstart file.) But this just does not feel right.

Maybe there is something "connmand starting" event I could hook in to
load the driver module?
