Matrox_w1 module with kernel-2.6.12-1.1447_FC4?

[Steve Parker]

Hi,

I just upgraded my kernel to 2.6.12-1.1447_FC4 and now I see the 
following messages in syslog:

Aug 31 19:14:33 localhost kernel: w1_driver w1_bus_master1: No devices 
present on the wire.
Aug 31 19:14:43 localhost kernel: w1_driver w1_bus_master1: No devices 
present on the wire.
Aug 31 19:14:53 localhost kernel: w1_driver w1_bus_master1: No devices 
present on the wire.
Aug 31 19:15:33 localhost last message repeated 4 times
Aug 31 19:15:43 localhost kernel: w1_driver w1_bus_master1: No devices 
present on the wire.
Aug 31 19:15:53 localhost kernel: w1_driver w1_bus_master1: No devices 
present on the wire.
Aug 31 19:16:33 localhost last message repeated 4 times
Aug 31 19:17:43 localhost last message repeated 7 times

Well, you get the idea...  A little research turned up that this module 
is loaded is a Matrox card is present (I have a Matrox G450).  Here are 
the relevant syslog entries:

Aug 31 19:10:15 localhost kernel: Driver for 1-wire Dallas network protocol.
Aug 31 19:10:15 localhost kernel: matrox_w1 0000:01:00.0: Matrox G400 
GPIO transport layer for 1-wire.

I can eliminate the messages simply by 'rmmod matrox_w1' but my 
questions are why is it loading in the first place and how do I 
permanently disable it?  Thanks in advance!
