Hi list,
I guess my problem is the linux kernel while using an auto-loading (hot-
plugging?) feature to auto-load usb modules, is still referring to the stock
CP210x module included with the kernel source tree instead of mine and this
prevent it to successfully recognize the device as supported.
I've tried searching around for info about the auto-loading mechanism and
how to pin inside it, but I've found an overwhelming amount of text which
does not explain where (and how) the kernel search for its available
drivers.
Would somebody point me to the right direction and clear how the kernel
manage usb modules auto-loading in latest fedora or add just some hint?
It seems that replacing the original .ko file under /lib/modules/, followed by
depmod -a does allow auto-loading of the custom one of course.
Just curious: replacing is the only method to manage "modules precedence"
under linux ? Is there any other way to achieve the same effect without
overwriting the original .ko files ?
