No, we're arguing over grammar. The sentence currently renders as

I proposed the following change:
Alternatively, to load

That's wrong. Getting rid of "the" works.
It should read:
Alternatively, to load the fxp(4) driver as a module at boot time...
not
Alternatively, to load fxp(4) module at boot time...
nor
Alternatively, to load the fxp(4) as a module at boot time...
nor

The following is correct, but is inconsistent with the preceding
context. There has been no introduction in text of the term
'module', so trying to interchange it with the term 'driver', which
has been introduced, is clumsy. Furthermore, the terms 'driver' and
'module' are not synonymous in the context, and thus are not
interchangable.
Alternatively, to load the fxp(4) module at boot time...
That said, attention to detail in the docs is _always_ appreciated,
and good, open discussions are always welcomed. It's just a bit
surrealistic to watch a grammar discussion happen between a group of
non-native speakers at 3am =-)
