Detecting Hardware

Some hardware will automatically be configured. You can attempt to autodetect more hardware by running /etc/init.d/discover start. If you want to use USB devices, try /etc/init.d/hotplug start. Otherwise, you will likely need to manually load kernel modules. You can find them under /lib/modules/kernelversion. Tools such as lspci can help you find out what hardware you have that needs to be loaded.

If you have PCMCIA devices, run /etc/init.d/pcmcia start.
