They do? Hmm... in both kvm and with a real thin client, removing 8139too from the initrd allowed NFS to work while it would consistently timeout or error out with it.

The drivers check the PCI revision ID and ignore the card if it's the wrong
one. Note that udev would load both drivers as well.



Well, this patch might be useful to exclude wireless drivers like ipw2200 or iwl3945 where you really don't want them, and you don't have the firmware in the chroot to begin with.

iwl3945 loads in initrd, finds it has no firmware, and continues to fail even later when the firmware is available. =(

This patch adds flexibility when needed.
