purpose of docprobe module and which device do I use

[Brian.Burton at nlynx.com]

A couple of newbie questions:
1. Do any of the other drivers use docprobe?  Since I (as the developer) know
where the DOC is located, shouldn't I hard-code the location of the DOC instead
of this scanning for the DOC?  It seems to be confused as to what is a DOC and
what is not.
2.  I am looking to replace the M-System binary driver with this open source
driver (I am having problems with the M-System driver thinking that I have 2
DOCs installed instead of just the one that I have installed).  I was put the
Linux Router Project into a DOC.  Would I be using the pseudo-block device
MTDBLOCK driver as a replacement for the M-system driver?  Would that device be
/dev/mtdb0?

Also, after reading much of the list archives, and having the same problem with
modprobe in finding the drivers, I found I needed to add
path[mtd]=/lib/modules/mylinux/mtd for modprobe to find the various modules.
Was that correct?
