Re: loading the module

Thx for the post
You are correct in that I am running fc2 sorry for not adding that before.  The mod-probe.conf file does run on-boot, it is were I specify my nic and raid controller drivers.  What I was hoping to learn was coulkd I just list the 8021q.ko or does it need an alias like the nics?

Thx,
Javier

How you specify which modules to load on boot will vary between
distributions. From the kernel name I guess you're using Fedora Core
2 and I don't know much about that.

Reading the modules.conf manpage you can set up a special directory
that should contain all modules you want loaded on boot and add:

path[boot]=/path/to/directory

to your modules.conf file, but I don't know how it would get picked
up if modprobe is never called during boot..
