    I use 1-wire devices -- little chips and buttons made by Dallas Semiconductors
    that can monitor temperature, humidity, voltages, and switch things on and
    off.

    In fact there is quite a community around them, with everything from home HVAC
    and weatherstations, to door access control.

    The devices connect through either a serial or USB adapter, and that's where
    my problem lies. I head a software effort that has adapted the chips to
    linux, as a filesystem, among other ways. See http://owfs.sf.net

    It worked perfectly until SuSE 9.2 -- and the reason is SUSE now includes a
    kernel module ds9490r that attaches to the 1-wire USB adapter. And does
    nothing. It is an idea with no implementation.

    Unfortunately, I have to manually rmmod the module before my software, which
    uses libusb can attach to the device.

    I understand the wish to make SuSE as totipotent as possible out of the box.
    Loading a module with no utility that breaks existing software doesn't help,
    however.

    So, as simpler question, how do I disable autoloading of the ds9490r?
