+This document may not be entirely up to date and comprehensive. The command
+"modinfo -p ${modulename}" shows a current list of all parameters of a loadable
+module. Loadable modules, after being loaded into the running kernel, also
+reveal their parameters in /sys/module/${modulename}/parameters/. Some of these
+parameters may be changed at runtime by the command
+"echo -n ${value} > /sys/module/${modulename}/parameters/${parm}".

+The parameters listed below are only valid if certain kernel build options were
+enabled and if respective hardware is present. The text in square brackets at

+parameter is applicable:
