Hi Peter,
Thanks for your message.
Actually I'm interested in how modprobe autoloads modules based on the
modalias files in sysfs. I read this in Greg KH's great book - Linux Kernel
in a Nutshell and I've been wondering how the modules would get loaded if
they had to be loaded in the first place to have the device->module list to
exist.
modprobe is "smart" and knows what modules support what devices based on
the cache it creates when you run 'depmod' when a new kernel is
installed.
is it possible to get that information (what module determines what
driver) from modprobe.
(sorry for the problem Greg KH. i hit the wrong button)
