Hm. I think there's something weird going on with udevstart, which I
think is supposed to generate 'hotplug' events for every PCI device in
the system at startup. It _isn't_ generating hotplug events for the
network card, unless the driver is already loaded -- which is fairly
useless since if the driver is already loaded we don't need to load it.
I'm a bit lost as to how this is all supposed to work these days. Bill?
It walks /sys, looking for uevent files, and echos into them to regenerate
the event.
