I think is our resposibility (modalias/file2alias) to provide a matcheable string, otherwise modprobe should be aware of all the types (pci, usb, spi, vmbus.....) As we keep adding types, and they don't follow any standard, we would be adding a dependecy between kmod and the kernel, and duplicating code. That is bad systemwise Maybe the code on kmod should not be case sensitive, that is all :) > > thanks, > > greg k-h Thanks -- Ricardo Ribalda -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
