Description Bastien Nocera 2007-10-15 12:15:16 UTC
kernel-2.6.23-0.214.rc8.git2.fc8

Some Belkin devices (like mine) have been made that require different drivers,
but have the same vendor and product IDs.

$ lsusb | grep -i 705a
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 050d:705a Belkin Components 
$ modinfo rt73usb | grep -i 705a
alias:          usb:v050Dp705Ad*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*
$ modinfo rt2500usb | grep -i 705a
alias:          usb:v050Dp705Ad*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*

The rt73usb is the one to actually drive my hardware, but both get loaded on
startup. Is there a way to blacklist the rt2500usb driver on my system, and warn
the user that 2 drivers could be used for the same hardware?

Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.

I really don't know of any way to make that happen beyond manual intervention. 
Do you have a suggestion?
