You may want to use modprobe instead. (This would mean that the dazuko
kernel module must be "installed" on the system.) Since modprobe is a
bit more "intelligent" than insmod, it may actually wait until the
module has finished initializing before returning.

The init routines in Dazuko should be pretty fast. 6 seconds is more
than you probably need. What if your application tried several times at
0.1 second intervals?

If Dazuko needs several seconds to initialize on your machine, your
application won't be able to do anything about it. I would suggest
making your applications more tolerant for delays.
