Message-ID: <20070103165020.4b277ebc@freekitty> Organization: OSDL X-Mailer: Sylpheed-Claws 2.5.0-rc3 (GTK+ 2.10.6; i486-pc-linux-gnu) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 604 Lines: 14 Is there some missing magic (udev rule?) that keeps i2c device modules from loading? For example: the Intel i2c-i801 module ought to get loaded automatically on boot up since it has a set of PCI id's that generate the necessary module aliases. It would be better if I2C device's autoloaded like other PCI devices. -- Stephen Hemminger - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
