Found out where analog was being loaded.  It was in
-/etc/modprobe.d/isapnp/isapnp/isapnp.aliases-.  I commented the line
with analog and it no longer loads.  But I still have issues with the
joystick. - /dev/input/js0- is there, but when I -cat- it, I get
nothing from the joystick.  After a -sudo modprobe -r ns558- followed
by a -sudo modprobe ns558-, the joystick is working proper.  At this
point, I'm playing with the order that the modules get loaded in
-/etc/modules-.  So far, If -grip- is last, -ns558- does not create the
-/dev/input/js0-.
