this spell provides linux-hotplug support, so that most modules can be loaded 
automatically.  

So far, I've been testing it with usb devices on linux 2.4.19

Starting with kernel 2.4 (in January 2001), hotplugging is a standard feature 
of GNU/Linux. Its goal is letting you plug in new devices and use them 
immediately. That means that users won't need to learn so much system 
administration; systems will at least partially autoconfigure themselves. 
Initially, hotplug included support for USB and PCI (Cardbus) devices, and 
could automatically configure some common network interfaces. Updated 
versions include IEEE 1394 (Firewire/i.Link) support and can download 
firmware to USB devices that need it. On mainframes, S/390 channel devices 
uses hotplugging to report device attach and other state change events. For 
laptops, newer kernels also include support for reporting docking station 
activity.
