Re: Problem with /etc/init.d/pcmcia

Because modprobe might pick the wrong modules if others exist.
Using insmod allows the script to ignore the search order that
modprobe would use.

Because modprobe will read options from /etc/modules.conf, so
they don't need to be provided by the script.

I still haven't figured that one out...
