Debian uses /etc/modprobe.d/* not /etc/modprobe.conf Creating /etc/modprobe.conf breaks everything in /etc/modprobe.d since it is now ignored. So don't do that. Add it to a file in modprobe.d instead (name it ne or ne2k or whatever you think makes sense). > I suggest the installation process needs a minor 2.6 update for these > situations.
