Comment:
Me neither.

It doesn't declare any aliases ... that in itsself could be considered a
"kernel bug" I guess - but then I don't think floppy drives show up
under any bus I'm aware of

It's probably a good example of "load it if you have one", with no way
of finding out whether you have one except by loading the module.

It's not a udev bug anyway; nothing for udev to get involved with here.
Either we stick "floppy" in /etc/modules, or we build it in.

I'm almost wondering why it's a module at all.. Ben?
