udev adds a wrinkle. My understanding is that sometimes... udev
doesn't finish creating the needed /dev/ entries before the modprobe
script fires. I don't think udev has a mechanism to communicate back
to modprobe with a "hey I'm done, run your install scripts now."  So
as a result some people/hardware see this problem and some
people/hardware doesn't.
