Module Changes

Apologies but I did not find any mention of this in the beginers guide or in the wiki/news item regarding new blacklisting of modules, but I was wondering if that makes the MODULES=() array completely redundant now? I know modules are loaded as required a lot of the time, but I'm accustomed to specifying wl and either nvidia or noveau in the array specifically for loading, does the array still have this functionality or has that gone too?

Thanks,
Ben9250.

Re: Module Changes

Modules that are needed will be loaded automatically by udev. The MODULES array can be used to manually load specific modules (useful for modules that are not loaded automatically such as vboxdrv) but can no longer be used to blacklist unwanted modules.
