2014-12-26 01:54:44 Karl-Philipp Richter description also referenced manpages of `modinfo` and `insmod` don't explain what an alias is and give no reference to an explanation. That makes getting started with kernel modules overly hard for beginners and it'd just be one reference or half a sentence necessary to explain ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.10 Package: kmod 18-1ubuntu2 Uname: Linux 3.18.1-031801-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Thu Dec 25 19:20:49 2014 SourcePackage: kmod UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) also referenced manpages of `modinfo` and `insmod` don't explain what an alias is and give no reference to an explanation. That makes getting started with kernel modules overly hard for beginners and it'd just be one reference or half a sentence necessary to explain Apparently there're even two types of aliases (built-ins in `.ko` files and user defined). That _needs_ to be explained!!
