-    <para>Be very careful when reading other documentation relating to kernel
-    modules because it usually applies to 2.4.x kernels only. As far as we know,
-    kernel configuration issues specific to Hotplug and Udev are not documented.
-    The problem is that Udev will create a device node only if Hotplug or a
-    user-written script inserts the corresponding module into the kernel, and not
-    all modules are detectable by Hotplug. Note that statements like the one below
