I am not sure about that. Has anyone a system that uses /dev/sga and does not have /dev/sg0 ? > > > what about /dev/uk0 - are there any modules when uk0 is used? > > Aren't those only used on *BSD?

But may be there are other systems (BSD?) that also could get advance of sanei_attach_matching_devices(). BTW: What happens when the user does not have the correct permissions for /dev/sg0 (or the device that is used to load modules)?
