I hope you're not proposing defaulting debian to some kind of kudzu-like auto-detect-hw-on-boot thing. If so, I have about 5 acres of urls to stories of that failing to dig up and post here. It's hard enough to get the right modules worked out once, by detection (which sometimes fails) and manual tweaking. Trying to get it right every boot is not suitable for production machines. -- see shy jo
