Well, this may be true for most kernels, but e100 and eepro100 dont play
nice together with kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7-smp. Discover1 loads both
modules simultaneously and then locks things up when you try to remove
one of them. Actually, most times, if you remove e100 first, you can
also remove eepro100, but never the other way around.
Is there a way to tell discover _not_ to load a specific module?
