The modules in /etc/modules get loaded by modprobe atGood evening,I might have missed that one, concerning /etc/modules, /etc/modules.conf and modutils.. What does what in there ? I might be using workarounds or not using my system effeciently but .... I've never had to tamper with /etc/modules.conf. All I did so far to get modules to load and to work was to put them into /etc/modules. For instance: on a 2.2.x kernel, my NIC module is rtl8139.o . In the 2.4.x series, the module has been renamed to 8139too.o (actually it's a new module, but let's not split hairs). All I did was to replace the rtl8139 entry into /etc/modules with 8139too . What is the use of /etc/modules.conf et al. then ?
boot time. Modprobe uses /etc/modules.conf to affect
its behaviour such as passing options to modules, and
do certain operations before and after a module is
installed or removed.
