How to load modules?

Tresmius · 03-10-2007, 12:35 PM

I'm getting error messages - 'x*' not found in /proc/modules
i did a little research using google, and apparently that file lists modules which are loaded, so my question is, how do i load modules? Is there a package i can download to that loads them, one i already have even, do i do it manually?
Any help much appreciated

using the command:

modprobe "nameofmodule"..

example:

modprobe forcedeth

You can load modules manually using this command.

My question though, when do you get your error ? During boot time?

actually, your answer was probably correct, because the error message comes up when i type modprobe "nameofmodule"
e.g when i type modprobe ndiswrapper, i get FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found in /proc/modules
so what is causing this, and how should i resolve the problem?

How did you install the module?
