adding module options

maenho · 08-12-2005, 05:39 AM

Hi,

I'm using Slackware 10.0 and I'm trying to load a module for my wireless NIC with a certain option. I presume the module (ipw2200) is loaded by hotplug since it's not metionned in any of the rc.d files.

I first tried to add modprobe statements to /etc/rc.d/rc.modules but in some way that stopped the loading of all scripts that should come after the rc.modules script. In a second attempt I tried to add 'options ipw2200 hwcrypto=0' to modules.conf but that seemed to have no effect at all (the module was loaded without the option).

How can I add this option to the loading of the module?

Try the same thing in modprobe.conf if you are running a 2.6 series kernel.
