I am using the 2.6.5 kernel on a modular boot disk. I am finding that invocations of "modprobe" are returning sooner than I would like.
For example, I invoke "modprobe hid" to make my USB keyboard work. This loads the module and exits immediately, causing my script to proceed, before the USB keyboard is probed and ready.
I want to wait until the driver is finished initializing (i.e., a USB keyboard is either found or not found) before my script continues. How can I do that?
I seem to be having similar problems loading certain other modules (PCMCIA, Ethernet), but hid.o is the only one for which I have not found a convenient workaround.
I apologize if this is a stupid question. I have spent some time searching both the Linux source code and the linux-kernel archives to no avail.
Thanks!
