I want to auto-load the module for the USB contoller (usb-ohci) by its

Where do i find the alias 'name' that kmod+modprobe use to look up this
feature?

According to the kernel documentation (file usb-help.txt) you can
start with the following links for information about usb:
(from linux/Documentation/usb/usb-help.txt)

For USB help other than the readme files that are located in
linux/Documentation/usb/*, see the following:
Linux-USB project: http://www.linux-usb.org
mirrors athttp://www.suse.cz/development/linux-usb/
andhttp://usb.in.tum.de/linux-usb/
andhttp://it.linux-usb.org
Linux USB Guide:http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net
Linux-USB device overview (working devices and drivers):
http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/
The Linux-USB mailing lists are:
linux-usb-users@lists.sourceforge.net for general user help
linux-usb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net for developer discussions
###
I would recommend to use the Linux USB guide and FAQ at
http://www.linux-usb.org as a starting point.

Also look through /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt - it has a
list of all the devices and such with their repsective numbers.
You'll find their organized in section like:
10 char
Then a long list of devices with numbers before them. This would
translate to char-major-10-number.
You can also look in your logs - there will be error messages saying
something to the effect of could not find device blah-blah. That
might start you off.
HTH,
Steve
