I saw in udev rules that this is the line responsible for doing that: # Load drivers that match kernel-supplied alias ENV{MODALIAS}=="?*", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -Q $env{MODALIAS}" What I want to know is who send this for udev? usbcore module? The variable $env{MODALIAS} is something like this: usb:v0403p6001d0600dc00dsc00dp00icFFiscFFipFF v0403 is the vendor ID, p6001 is the product ID, but the others? I didnt find anything about this in modprobe or udev docs....
