We never got around to figuring out why the
sg
module is auto-loaded on some systems/distributions (e.g. Debian) but not on others (e.g. Arch). We have since used workarounds like addingsg
to/etc/modules
.Instead just use udev to load the module if a new USB-SD-Mux is connected, as suggested by @frosteyes in #87.
I've tested the change on may Arch Linux System that would not automatically load the
sg
module before, but does with the updated udev rule. I've also checked if having an explicitkmod load
in an (upstream) udev rule is uncommon:This looks to me like they are not that common, but they exist.
Resolves #87.
