hwdetect use question

When I use

hwdetect --net

I get an output that is a little boggling.  Somehow its loaded modules that are also blacklisted? So are they actually running or not?
This is hwdetect output:

MODULES=(!mii !r8169 !ath9k_common !ath9k_hw !ath9k !ath mii r8169 ath9k_common ath9k_hw ath9k ath)

And this is my rc.conf

MODULES=(vboxdrv fuse !usblp vboxnetflt)

Any explanation for this?

Re: hwdetect use question

Strange output indeed. I guess the modules still get loaded (lsmod will tell you more). What exactly are you trying to do anyway?

Re: hwdetect use question

When you compile a new kernel, localmodconfig checks loaded modules and builds them in to be automatically loaded in the next kernel.

Re: hwdetect use question

It wasn't after an update, and I'm not really trying to do anything I was just comparing modules that my computer would load when a certain wireless card is in my computer since the card works well in my computer but in the other computer it doesn't.  I thought it might be a driver issue so I was seeing what modules were being loaded for it in case the other one was missing one.

Oh, well, that was my only explanation sad
