NAME
     dsbdriverd -- A device driver loading daemon

SYNOPSIS
     dsbdriverd [-l | -c vendor:device] | [-fn] [-x driver,...]

DESCRIPTION
     dsbdriverd  is a daemon that automatically tries to find and load the suit-
     able driver for your PCI and USB hardware. On startup dsbdriverd scans  the
     PCI  and US(B) bus for all connected devices and looks up their driver in a
     database and linker.hints files using information provided by the hardware.
     The same applies to USB devices attached to the system later at runtime.

     The options are as follows:

     -c      Check if there is a driver for the given vendor and device ID.

     -f      Run in foreground.

     -l      List installed devices and their corresponding driver.

     -n      Just show what would be done, but do not load any drivers, or  call
	     any Lua functions.

     -x      Exclude  every driver in the comma separated list from loading. The
	     list set via the -x flag takes precedence over the exclude list de-
	     fined in the config file.
