Not fine to a lot of servers, though. Sometimes you have multiple nics in a machine and you don't want certain ones even coming up if you can avoid it. Maybe they're a heartbeat backup nic or maybe they're an onboard nic that plays hell with your bios. It doesn't matter, simply loading a driver b/c the device is in the machine will piss off a lot of people who appreciate being able to control what their system does.
Ditto. This would mightily suck and cause "bad things" to happen on a number of my machines.
