And there does seem to be a bit of a problem with someone not deeply
involved in the code trying to comment on it. Still, I would be willing to
try to freshen up Readme.modules with my two bits. I think I would just
remove the obviously obsolete material at the top and add the sb and adlib
module options and suggested conf.modules stuff at the bottom.
Far be it from me to suggest further work for people, and risk yet
further major flamage, but life would be simplified a bit if the IRQ and
other parameters which can be specified in kernel configuration when
making a wired driver as opposed to a module could also be specified in
the module case, and be made available to the driver, i.e.:
(from sb_card.c):
Instead of:
int io = -1;
int irq = -1;
int io = SB_IO? SB_IO: -1;
int irq = SB_IRQ? SB_IRQ: -1;
If the idea received general acclaim and was not already being done, I
would be willing to research it a bit.

Hopefully tempers have cooled and feathers have unruffled.
