How to hack module loading to get tifm_core to also load tifm_sd?

[Miles Lane]

I found this bug report which describes my situation as well:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=232370

I am currently testing F7-Test4.  I have module-init-tools-3.3-0.pre11.1.0.fc7.
Is there something I can do to hack this to do the right thing until
it gets fixed in F7?
modprobe.conf doesn't seem to support it and modprobe.dep is ancient history.

Thanks,
        Miles

install tifm_core /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install tifm_core && /sbin/modprobe tifm_sd

?

If *everything* that has tifm chip uses tifm_sd, then the kernel modules
should be fixed...

Thanks for the reply.  It is my understanding only SD cards are
supported for the TI chip at this time.  To me, this means that
tifm_sd should always be automatically loaded.

I note that nothing appears in the module that would cause
tifm_core to ever get loaded. How does one know that they
need it?

Sorry, I don't know.  Perhaps the driver developer?
