NAME
       discover-modprobe.conf — configuration file for discover-modprobe(5)

Description
       discover-modprobe.conf is the configuration file for discover-modprobe,
       which is responsible for retrieving and loading kernel modules.

	      Warning:

	      This file is a shell script, and as such is subject to a	string
	      variable	assignment  syntax.  No	 space	is allowed between the
	      variable name, the equal (=) sign, and the value(s) assigned. If
	      multiple	values	are  to	 be  assigned, the list must be space-
	      delimited with surrounding quotes.

       Two directives can be used in this file: types and skip.	 Both  can  be
       defined multiple times.

       types	 This describes the classes of hardware that should be scanned
		 and queried.

       skip	 These modules should never be loaded. See the ``Files''  sec‐
		 tion  for  details  on	 the  mechanism	 for  generating these
		 entries automatically.

Files
       /var/lib/discover/crash
		 A crash file written and erased each  time  discover-modprobe
		 attempts  to load a module. If the file lingers, the computer
		 is assumed to have crashed while loading that module, and the
		 module name is added to discover-modprobe.conf as a module to
		 skip in the future.
