Only Jon could reject it.  The revised patch is simple enough that
I've no reason to object.  (Although you ignored my comment on the
manpage).

Your project is mainly a UI to maintain a blacklist file under
/etc/modprobe.d/, is that right?  So you want "modprobe
--resolve-aliases" to find the available drivers for each device,
according to its "modalias" value.

Once you've blacklisted a driver, it wouldn't show up with a simple
"modprobe --resolve-aliases"... so I guess you use "-C /dev/null" as
well.

I'm an "edit the text files" guy myself, but it does sound pretty useful.

Thanks
Alan
