Discover should load only > drivers to handle devices I have, shouldn't it? No it should not load this module. However i fail to see why discover loads this module on your computer. Below you find the list of devices for which discover currently loads this module. I doubt you have any of these in your computer (check the PCI ID's with lspci -n). On my TiBook G4 (first generation) this does not happen.
