I have never used any modules that I didn't have to. At this point, I use |
| 22 |
none. They are all compiled into the kernel, because I don't have a point |
| 23 |
to unloading or loading. The only point for modules in any of my |
| 24 |
experience is if you're often changing hardware (possibly a laptop with a |
| 25 |
base station... or something?) |
