From 8f47f0b688bba7642dac4e979896e4692177670b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matt Domsch Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2008 01:36:24 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] dcdbas: add DMI-based module autloading DMI autoload dcdbas on all Dell systems. This looks for BIOS Vendor or System Vendor == Dell, so this should work for systems both Dell-branded and those Dell builds but brands for others. It causes udev to load the dcdbas module at startup, which is used by tools called by HAL for wireless control and backlight control, among other uses. Thanks to Kay Sievers for figuring out how to do this with a single alias.
