You might want to check out the recent changes to discover and
discover-data. It already had support for installing hardware
specific packages using the discover-pkginstall script, and I added
code to run module-assistant to build the kernel module if the
hardware specific package is supported by module-assistant. I hope it
bring us at least one step closer to automatic driver activation for
out-of-tree kernel modules.
See <URL: http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2007/08/msg00072.html >
for more info on the new discover feature.
Happy hacking,
