A common case is that you only want to use some of all your devices of a certain model. (My view may be strongly influenced by the s390 perspective, where we only have a quite limited amount of different models and device drivers. In the highly diverse PC world, module load/unload may indeed be the better way, since it doesn't require additional work.) > if you want to make a seperate enable/disable function I think it would > probably be more appropriate to use the power management functions. It might. (s390 doesn't currently have power management.) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
