# prerequisites of this script to run inside the installer initrd:
# - udevadm and udevd need to be there
# - have /etc/udev/udev.conf with at least one comment line as content
# - if necessary, have udev rules
# - copy lsznet.raw and controlunits.sh to initrd
# - pack kernel modules and module-init-tools (no longer use busybox for that)
# - "multi on" in /etc/host.conf [RH bugs 486457,486461,483244]

# TODOs:
# - make sure driver modules get loaded automatically
# - udev rule for lcs/ctcm vs. cu3088
# - make sure netiucv gets loaded even without udev events since on no bus
