I don't use insmod myself, but I assume it can take kernel command-line
line parameters "ether=..." to be fed to the driver.
This points out an interesting idea: a way of getting a loaded driver (and
not just modular ones) to report back their current settings (as autoprobed)
in a format that could be directly reused as an override setting.
For example, I'd love to be able to do something like:
$ cat /proc/dev/ether0/settings
ether=0x15,0x300,eth0
This would make "freezing" the settings of those troublesome autoprobers
(like sbpcd) quite a bit easier.
