[driverloader] Re: on driverloader 2.04

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

in both DriverLoader 1.77 and DriverLoader 2.04, since Debian uses the 
'chkconfig' program to manage init scripts, the DriverLoader init script 
have 11 as start priority.

If you want to change the start priority of DriverLoader, please edit 
the file '/etc/init.d/driverloader' and change the following line :

---
# chkconfig: 2345 11 91
---

11 is the start priority of DriverLoader and the last number (91) is the 
kill priority of the service. You can use this simple formula to obtain 
the kill priority :

---
kill_prio = 100 - start_prio
---

After you have made changes to this file, please run the following 
command in a root shell :

---
chkconfig driverloader reset
---

This command will update the contents of the '/etc/rcN.d' directories.
