 2.1. Modules
      -------
-     To get the device working, you have to load the proper kernel module. You
-     can do this using
-         modprobe modulename
-     where modulename is ser_gigaset (M101), usb_gigaset (M105), or
-     bas_gigaset (direct USB connection to the base).
+     For the devices to work, the proper kernel modules have to be loaded.
+     This normally happens automatically when the system detects the USB
+     device (base, M105) or when the line discipline is attached (M101). It
+     can also be triggered manually using the modprobe(8) command, for example
+     for troubleshooting or to pass module parameters.
 
      The module ser_gigaset provides a serial line discipline N_GIGASET_M101
-     which drives the device through the regular serial line driver. To use it,
-     run the Gigaset M101 daemon "gigasetm101d" (also available from
-     http://sourceforge.net/projects/gigaset307x/) with the device file of the
-     RS232 port to the M101 as an argument, for example:
-	 gigasetm101d /dev/ttyS1
-     This will open the device file, set its line discipline to N_GIGASET_M101,
-     and then sleep in the background, keeping the device open so that the
-     line discipline remains active. To deactivate it, kill the daemon, for
-     example with
-	 killall gigasetm101d
-     before disconnecting the device.
+     which drives the device through the regular serial line driver. It must
+     be attached to the serial line to which the M101 is connected with the
+     ldattach(8) command (requires util-linux-ng release 2.14 or later), for
+     example:
+	 ldattach GIGASET_M101 /dev/ttyS1
+     This will open the device file, attach the line discipline to it, and
+     then sleep in the background, keeping the device open so that the line
+     discipline remains active. To deactivate it, kill the daemon, for example
+     with
+	 killall ldattach
+     before disconnecting the device. To have this happen automatically at
+     system startup/shutdown on an LSB compatible system, create and activate
+     an appropriate LSB startup script /etc/init.d/gigaset. (The init name
+     'gigaset' is officially assigned to this project by LANANA.)
+     Alternatively, just add the 'ldattach' command line to /etc/rc.local.
