That is enough to me, just need one simple place to blacklist a module 
(instead of deleting it, this is especially important for pcmcia cards 
when the support for old cardmgr is removed. I have pure orinoco cards 
and prism2 cards in daily use) and I can live with this 
many-drivers-to-one-hw thing. I hope Redhat would update that package soon.

Maybe things are changing too rapidly and the Linux Distributions can't 
follow at same speed. /etc/hotplug/blacklist was working with 2.6.12 but 
not with 2.6.14 in FC4. I don't know why. I don't even know how and who 
is probing the hw and binding the driver (hotplug,udev,..). But as an 
end user, I don't even need to.
