[Devil-linux-develop] hardware detection

[Roland P. <rp...@ne...>]

Hi,
I recently read an article in the linux-user magazine about automatic module 
loading. To say it short: I didn't know it was so simple :-)
The author Mikro Doelle showed a 80 line bash script which loads modules for 
hardware it finds listed in the proc filesystem and is recognized by pci-ids 
database:

I think we could easily integrate an adapted version (after some perfomance 
tuning perhaps) into the boot process, doesn't even need to be in the etc 
image.
