how to autoload a manufacturer module at boot
 
Im using an Edimax usb wifi adapter, and the Edimax provide their proprietry linux kernel module.

How do I make my debian stable system auto load this module at boot?

TIA

Are you sure that the required module isn't already present on your OS ?

Which Edimax ? Edimax use one of: zd1211rw.ko, rt73usb.ko, rt2800usb.ko.

the stock module r8192s_usb isnt good, since it causes random disconnects.

Im now using the Edimax module and so far zero problerms.

But, I want to have it loaded auto. on boot

I guess you can do like the example mentioned here
http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian...h-modules.html
" /etc/modprobe.d/local file ..... : options libata atapi_enabled=1 "

Other hit with Google .. debian load modules ..
