Searching answers in the net means you don't know what to do.
What I'm looking for is one of two things,
a list which tells which module name is expected for which service so I'll
know how to alias it, something like:
service requested module
ethernet eth0
sound sound-slot-x
usb usb-controller
..
or a simple way to find out the last unsuccessful module request...
This way the next time I'll install something I won't need to start digging
the net to find out how should I alias it...
Thanks,
-Amir.
