Nope. What Lina refered to are no bash aliases. They are kernel module aliases: martin@merkaba:~> head -3 /lib/modules/3.2.0-1-amd64/modules.alias # Aliases extracted from modules themselves. alias devname:cpu/microcode microcode alias char-major-10-184 microcode which also used to map USB / PCI ids to kernel modules: martin@merkaba:~> grep pci /lib/modules/3.2.0-1-amd64/modules.alias | head -3 ; grep usb /lib/modules/3.2.0-1-amd64/modules.alias | head -3 alias pci:v000010DBd0000802Esv*sd*bc*sc*i* gpio_ml_ioh alias pci:v000010DBd00008043sv*sd*bc*sc*i* gpio_pch alias pci:v000010DBd00008014sv*sd*bc*sc*i* gpio_pch alias usb:v17E9p*d*dc*dsc*dp*icFFisc00ip00* udlfb alias usb:v04E6p5591d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* pn533 alias usb:v04CCp2533d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* pn533 -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
