The kernel should load it if the npx probe fails. Can we do this yet or will it require an in-kernel linker? It's something we need to be able do so that we can load device drivers on the fly following probes so all you have to have compiled in is the probe routines or actually you can load the device driver, do probe and then unload it if it fails. All you need then is a list of available drivers. -- Paul Richards. Originative Solutions Ltd.
