And if this drives you insane, in the short term, you can also set up an
init script like those in /etc/init.d to load it or not depending on the run
level. I've done this with ide-scsi drivers because I didn't *WANT* ide-scsi
on all the time, it messed with an old system, but was required by old
versions of cdrecord. So I'd use the init script or not depending on what I
was up to.
