Yes, recommend the user to add something like this to /etc/modprobe.conf: install a modprobe -i a ; modprobe b ; true But IMHO Rusty should provide a way to specify those "recommended" install lines in the modules themselves (so that they finally go to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.alias or a similar autogenerated file), like that's already done wih aliases and char-majors. Also Greg KH said in the past that module autoloading (i.e. the non-empty request_module() function) should be marked as obsolete (and therefore the use of request_module() should be eliminated). -- Alexander E.
