Hmm, curious.  I only have a couple of modules, basically wireless
drivers and serial to usb drivers.  So a large fraction of my .alias
file is PCI matches for say ftdi_sio (lots and lots of matches...)

I just trimmed a few drivers I doubt I will ever use and cut the file
size a chunk - good idea.  However, surprised if I can get it anywhere
near 34KB - that alone could be done using just 1-3 wireless modules..?

Thanks
