[ale] kernel boot parameters

[Jim Kinney]

Newer fedora uses modprobe.d/foo setup. May need to also add module to
blacklist file in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

If the system won't boot to edit the files, you'll need to use a live
CD boot process. However, the following _might_ work to add to the
boot line at a grub startup:

rtl8185b=0

assuming the name of the module is rtl8185b

I have problematic rtl8185b wireless card in which case kernel trying to autoload rtl8180 or rtl8187 modules and the whole system just freezes. This is the case with Ubuntu 10.10, puppy 4.3.x series but not with Mandriva 2010.0. Thanks
