Modprobe e100 and mooule could not be found

vitalstrike82 · 06-27-2009, 01:46 AM

Hi,

i tried something by using this command:

Code:

depmod e100

After that when i try to modprobe e100, it shows:

Code:

modprobe e100
FATAL: Module e100 not found.

What can i do to modprobe e100 again?

Thanks

To check if the file exists:

Code:

find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name e100\*

I know the depmod -a command, I don't know for depmod module command and what's the purpose

Run
depmod -a
in a terminal. Then the system will be able find your modules again.

I actually fell into this trap.
