Is it some "magic" in depmod / modprobe? And how is the network
interface identifier then passed into the module when it loads?
A nice whitepaper or doc or a few pointers or handholding would be
apprecated.
the kernel calls modprobe asking for the network device 'eth0',
modprobe uses the configuration file to map this to a module
--cw
