I have to change some driver options under Linux.
This is no problem as i can unload drivers with 'modprobe -r <module>'
and load drivers with modprobe or insmod.
Changing modules, loading new a.s.o. is no problem, but the trick is, that it has to be a permanent state, but after a reboot, everything is back to the sate before i changed the module setup
How can i make it permament?
say, that 'ov511' is loaded with all the other modules
and that cx88xx loads with the option 'card=1' ('cx88xx card=1') ?
What you are looking for is the /etc/modprobe.conf file. Which will let you specify options for modules as they are loaded. If you google it you will find lots of info.
Ok, i managed to specify the 'card=1' option the cx88xx module, but how load a module automatically, or, how to "add" a module to the other module autoload list
First google result is this look halfway down for "install modulename command..." that is what you are looking for. I'm not going to replicate the text here.
I'm not sure where the modules are loaded from in fedora, but I'm sure someone else can tell you where to insert a modules to get it to load before another. However, I think your best bet is the above install command.
