Hello!

So, is it a valid assumption that the configurations files to bind drivers 
to a specific card are compiled in and therefore cannot be changed without 
recompilation??

If this IS NOT the case, then WHERE are the conf files (in the recent 
kernels 2.6.13 >)??

Could someone verify these assumptions, or at least tell me to go to hell?

Thanks for everyone's time and help.
