[gentoo-user] Modules autoloading?

[Willie Wong]

Dear all, 

  I performed a massive update on my laptop last night, and started
  observing the following behaviour on boot. 

  A message would pop-up saying to the effect that "udev is processing
  kernel events" and then proceeds to load a bunch of kernel modules
  which I didn't specify for loading in /etc/modules.autoload.d

  In autoload, I only specified 'bcm570x' for my NIC, but after the
  updates, the computer would automatically load the 'ipw2200' module
  for wireless and 'radeon_fb' (which I was playing with for a while
  but have decided not to use). 

  Any clue as to where I can turn off this behaviour? I checked the
  config files for udev and /etc/conf.d/rc, and I don't see anything
  obvious. 

Thanks, 

 Willie
