Hi,

I accidentally overwrote the original. Could someone please hand me an unmodified version? Don't want to mess up my system... (come to think of it, seems like I already did huh? )

Best regards,

Stijn

P.S. To those who don't know, it's in /etc/modprobe.d/

http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.or ... dules.html

• Sometimes two different modules claim support for the same device, usually because two slightly different versions of the device exist, requiring different kernel modules to operate. In such situation udev loads both kernel modules, with unpredictable results. To avoid this problem, you can prevent any module (let's say, tulip) from loading by creating an arbitrarily named file, containing a line
  blacklist tulip

http://linux.die.net/man/5/modprobe.d

Just use an empty file

I don't understand. I thought the purpose of this file was to blacklist hardware that's not compatible or whatever you want to call it. Doesn't it matter if it's completely empty?

To avoid any (further) misunderstanding: I have no idea which hardware should be blacklisted.
