Default Has your memory card ever worn out?

You need to learn how it works and stop posting nonsense.

The module to be loaded need never appear on a disk assessible to the
system.


It is impossible to load a module that is not accessible to the system.

It could, as an example, exist only in RAM and be downloaded
via a network.


In that case, it is accessible to the system, isn't it?

Although loading drivers from a network is rather odd.

In fact there need not even be an r/o boot device in
that sense, because it can be loaded from another system via a network.


The network is a read/only boot device.

But again, this is quite exceptional for standard desktops (and generally to a
lesser extent).
