modprobe or insmod
 

Hi,

What is the difference between modprobe and insmod.?:)

diff `man modprobe` `man insmod`
Not literally, though ;}

Cheers,
Tink

modprobe is meant to be a user-friendly interface for loading and unloading kernel modules. For instance, modprobe will automatically load any modules that the one you're loading depends on.

insmod is a low level interface--modprobe calls insmod.
