[arch-general] [arch-dev-public] kmod-3 in [testing]

As I said in my other post I've mostly got things working. I have to
log in then run sudo udevadm trigger ( I'm doing it twice, once with
--type=devices then subsystems ) to get all my modules loaded, then
sudo /etc/rc.d/net-profiles start to get my network up. Moving the
nouveau blacklist and sound.conf to /lib/modprobe.d took care of not
loading the the nouveau modules and finding my sound card.

It was probably the wrong move, but I tried putting udevadm trigger
--type=xxx in my rc.local with no success. Shows I still don't get all
the interactions with rc.local.
