Module-init-tools wishlist

This is a placeholder for a wish list. I'll pull in the TODO items into here in due course. Meanwhile, add things you'd like to see in whichever tool on this page.

  • modprobe - possibility for udev integration would be useful according to Scott. - specifically to avoid the repeated parsing of the configuration files and modules.alias list every single time modprobe is invoked
  • Always read /etc/modprobe.conf even if modprobe.d is present. Fedora, Mandriva and Ubuntu already do this SuSE, Debian and Gentoo do not. (--Md 09:58, 2 September 2006 (BST))
  • Do not generate the modules.*map files by default (or remove all support?), nobody is supposed to be using hotplug anymore. (--Md 09:58, 2 September 2006 (BST))
  • Apply the blacklist directive to user-defined aliases too. At least Debian and Ubuntu already do this. (--Md 02:59, 13 June 2007 (BST))
