92If you have a w1 bus that never changes (you don't add or remove devices), 95If you have a w1 bus that never changes (you don't add or remove devices),
93you can set w1_master_search to a positive value to disable searches. 96you can set the module parameter search_count to a small positive number
97for an initially small number of bus searches. Alternatively it could be
98set to zero, then manually add the slave device serial numbers by
99w1_master_add device file. The w1_master_add and w1_master_remove files
100generally only make sense when searching is disabled, as a search will
101redetect manually removed devices that are present and timeout manually
102added devices that aren't on the bus.
