Loadable modules question
Here's the story. I bought a new PC that has an Abit Is7 mobo. This mobo has an integrated 3Com Gig ethernet chip on it. The mother board driver CD comes with a Linux driver for this.
I have followed the instructions and have a file called 3c2000.o which I can load using the insmod command. If I then use ifconfig I can bring eth0 up and after assigning it an IP address all works fine........until the next time that is. My question is how can I get the module to load automatically so I don't have to load and configure the module manually every time I boot Linux. Cheers, Dave |

1. In Gentoo Linux : Make a file modules.autoload file in /etc and add the following line: modprobe 3c2000 2. In redhat (I thought it must be added in /etc/modules.conf 3. Also in slackware |
I'm running Mandrake 9.1 if that helps.

Hi there, I usedto handle my module configuration files manually, but I have found that the utility "ModConf" works really well, it gives you a better picture of what modules you have and what they do. For me anyway. I don't know if there is a ModConf for Mandrake or not, but I fugre there should be. It also lets you pick what modules you want to automatically load on boot :>

Add the entry like this: 3c2000 (this should be ok) Hope this helps |
Searching the internet for problems similar to the above and found this, but alas I tried it put in probe sk98lin and it still did not load it.
