I agree.  I was testing to see if the kernel recognized it.  Ben Collins seemed
to think that the kernel was recognizing it fine, and that it was udev not doing

I will attach the two lsmod outputs.  Again, these are two different machines
running different hardware (Hoary = IBM T40, Breezy = A7N-8X nvidia/athlon)
