Current SVN trunk.

Um, please notice that I was doing rmmod/modprobe while NM was not
running, so thing I was asking was whether NM should possibly init
devices which have no kernel modules loaded when starting up. If I do
rmmod/modprobe while NM is running then everything works like charm.

Thanks.
