Description KDE Brainstorm Submissions 2009-11-06 18:43:45 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.3)
Installed from:    I Don't Know

For advanced users, being able to control which kernel modules (which add or remove capabilities to the kernel) are loaded by default is a key task. However, system settings has no way to do that, leaving users to either use distribution-specific tools or text editors. I think have a system settings module to do this, under the "advanced tab" obviously, would be a very powerful tool for administrators.



This feature request was originally submitted through KDE Brainstorm, and has been submitted to Bugzilla due to popular demand. Original idea: http://forum.kde.org/brainstorm.php?mode=idea&i=76125

Sounds rather niche.

Everyone who wants to configure kernel modules isn't the sort of person who would use systemsettings.
