What Debian use to load automatically kernel module ? discover tool ?

[Stephane Klein]

Hi,

I've a simple question : What Debian use to detect hardware component ?
Example, my system load automatically a Ethernet driver module. Who load
this ? The discover program ?
If yes, I see discover program is old,
https://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=30273

On my Ubuntu system, I haven't discover package installed on my system.
What Ubuntu use to automatically load kernel module ?

Thanks for your information.

Regards,
Stephane

On Linux, the kernel detects devices and udev finds the modules to use.
Please direct further questions to the debian-user list or the
maintainers of 'discover'.
