From: Scott James Remnant <scott@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The missing device table means that the floppy module is not auto-loaded, even when the appropriate PNP device (0700) is found. We don't actually use the table in the module, since the device doesn't have a struct pnp_driver, but it's sufficient to cause an alias in the module that udev/modprobe will use.
