Your best bet is to use hotplug, which automatically instantiates drivers for the attached devices at startup. It doesn't change /etc/modules, it just re-detects at every startup. (Ubuntu uses hotplug and udev by default, btw.) - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2005: Canberra, Australia http://linux.conf.au/ "This is the new dividing line in public life.
