Add special hardware to the hardware detection on boot
Hello,
It is possible to add speciall interface card (NI PCI-GPIB) to the hardware detection routine ? The Linux driver for this card is available as loadable module.
Where can I find more information about the configuration of the hardware detection used in KNOPPIX ?
thx Danmak

I've opted to do a HD install using the Knoppix-installer and chosen to make that a Debian style install. (see the significance later) I've been playing around with Kino which requires modules 'raw1394 and ohci1394 to be loaded, so Kino can control the i/f directly. What I did, was just add them to '/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh' that is I added the following lines:-
modprobe raw1394
modprobe ohci1394
Unfortunately, if you have a Knoppix style install, you won't find bootmisc.sh - all the clever stuff is done with this script (and probably others):-
/etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig
-It's rather complex, I got no further than commenting out a couple of lines to trick the script into enabling dma by default!!! You might recognise some of it running at boot time.....

PS. I'm a linux newbie, so I could be suggesting quite the wrong way to do things!!!
