This is just a case of broken drivers. Having to manually
(modprobe.conf counts :) specify a module option to make a driver work
means that the driver is broken -- these things _have_ to be
auto-detected. Punting it to the user just isn't practical or
reasonable.
But don't we do that now? Doesn't Anaconda know about options needed
for certain hardware and put them in modprobe.conf at install time?
