Module-info is a file containing simple descriptions and options for available
modules. I believe that it is Red Hat specific. A snippet from the file
follows:
3c501
eth
"3Com 3c501"
io "Base I/O address" "0x[0-9a-fA-F]+"
irq "IRQ level" "[0-9]+"
3c503
eth
"3Com EtherLink II"
io "Base I/O address" "0x[0-9a-fA-F]+"
irq "IRQ level" "[0-9]+"
xcvr "Transceiver (0 = BNC; 1 = AUI)" "[01]"
3c505
eth
"3Com Etherlink Plus"
io "Base I/O address" "0x[0-9a-fA-F]+"
irq "IRQ level" "[0-9]+"
3c507
eth
"3Com EtherLink16"
io "Base I/O address" "0x[0-9a-fA-F]+"
irq "IRQ level" "[0-9]+"
3c509
eth
"3Com EtherLink III"
io "Base I/O address" "0x[0-9a-fA-F]+"
irq "IRQ level" "[0-9]+"
