Hi Greg. > What you want to look at is the modules.alias file. That is what makes > things so simple, it creates a mapping from a device/product id to the > actual module. I get the idea now, thanks. So when a device is connected, a modalias is generated with the vendor/productid and then modprobe can match this against the modalias file to load the module in. Does udev do the same thing when it has to autoload a module?
