  Hmmm I must have slipped up somewhere I had intended that directory to
 have the '.d' suffix, but as you say it doesn't.

  Well I'll leave it alone for the moment, since it is a pain renaming
 things and I've already done that too often.

  If that happens then yes :)

  It might be possible to detect this case automatically in the future,
 if we could find a "xennet.ko" beneath /lib/modules/ we could add the
 line fairly safely.

  How does that sound?

  Yes they seem to do so.  I don't have a xennet.* anywhere on my
  system:

  skx at itchy:~$ locate xennet
  skx at itchy:~$ uname -a
  Linux itchy 2.6.16-2-xen-686 #1 SMP Mon May 22 21:41:58 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
