It's an ATM card driver.  Apparently network-physical will fail if this 
service isn't ready.  I have to at least wait for filesystems to be 
mounted to read the module.  The FAQ says:

filesystem/root : /usr is mounted
filesystem/usr  : / and /usr is read-write

f/usr is indirectly dependent on f/root, but up this dependency chain, 
f/root depends on network/physical, which will be waiting for the 
driver.  So I lose either way.  What's the minimum system service I 
should wait for before trying to load the driver?  BTW this is still in 
rcS.d in form of a script.  I'm trying to convert this into an SMF service.
