Loading a module automatically


My wireless ethernet module does not load properly at startup. I think it tries to load orinoco_cs but it needs to load orinoco_pci. Anyway, after starting the computer I have to /sbin/modprobe orinoco_pci to get the internet working. I am glad it works, but could something help me fix this annoyance?
Thanks.

open /etc/modules.conf and add "alias eth0 module_name", if there's the wrong entry in there, remove it.
