<br>> and others. All hardware has a vendor id which can be queried from the<br>> device bus (have a loof as lspci and lsusb to see what i mean). When the<br>> kernel sees a device it aquires the vendor/device id pair and check to see
<br>> if it has been compiled with an appropriate driver, if it fins one it<br>binds<br>> the device to the driver if it does not it consults a set of files to find<br><br>> the driver needed (/lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.*), the kernel then
<br>loads<br>> the appropriate driver from the file system and binds to it.<br>><br>> You can add in drivers yourself via modprobe.conf<br>><br>> --<br>> MCSE is to computers as McDonalds Certified Chef is to fine cuisine.
