How to disable hardware from detecting and using

English Hardware
1

Hi.
In my laptop I have something what I never use:

  1. IEEE1394 Controller
  2. Modem

I want to hide them from Suse 11.1.
I want Suse do not test, install drivers and use them.
I want Suse to forget about them.

How to do this?
Thank you.

Hi
If you run hwinfo it will show which modules it loads, then just add
these to the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

Hi,
Thanks for replay.
If I understood you right, I have:

Module Alias: “pci:v00008086d0000266Dsv000017AAsd0000207Cbc07sc03i00”
Driver Info #0:
Driver Status: snd_intel8x0m is active
Driver Activation Cmd: “modprobe snd_intel8x0m”

So, I have to add to blacklist: snd_intel8x0m.

I just want to make sure.
