Bug#398962: [2.6.18] Platform devices incorrectly provide $MODALIAS?

udev 0.103-1 works around the problem as follows:

# this driver is broken and should not be loaded automatically (see #398962)
SUBSYSTEM=="platform", ENV{MODALIAS}=="i82365", GOTO="hotplug_driver_loaded"

So at least for the Pegasos marvell gigabit ethernet, the module will still
load. I don't know if it or other platform modules will still perhaps have
problems due to this bug.


Once the new udev reaches testing, I wouldn't consider this bug as RC
anymore, unless new problems come to light with other platform devices.
