[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#351668: udev doesn't even load parport_pc here

[Martin Steigerwald]

Hello,

okay, I can understand the issue with "lp", how should udev easily know 
that I have a printer and want to print, so it makes some sense that CUPS 
takes care of that.

But udev 0.093-1 doesn't even load "parport_pc" here. I am pretty sure it 
did so in earlier versions, cause I did not have it in /etc/modules. On a 
Toshiba laptop from a customer it does, but here on my IBM ThinkPad T23 
(see below) it does not.

Is this related to

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
udev (0.076-3) unstable; urgency=high
[...]
  * Removed the PNP aliases for parport_pc, which now are provided by the
    kernel driver.

?

Or is it this issue

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- some modules, like the drivers for some ISA PNP devices, lack the
  sysfs data needed to be automatically loaded and must be loaded 
manually.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

? Then I don't understand why it apparently worked before. I don't know 
the exact udev version where this stopped working, but I am pretty sure 
that it stopped working quite some while after the udev+hotplug merger.

This is an IBM ThinkPad T23:
