First, put the files (plural) in /etc/modprobe.d/some-name.conf - modprobe.conf (with everything in one file) was the old way and will be going away.
Second, if you need to do this, create a file for each module that is not loaded automatically, or for which you want to pass options [ alternatively, pass them on the kernel command line ]. For example mkdir -v /etc/modprobe.d echo "alias eth0 via_velocity" /etc/modprobe.d/ethernet.conf echo "options psmouse proto=imps" > /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf I'm not convinced that the first of those lines is needed any more, recent udev seems to get most things reasonably correct. The sgml file is the raw source for the man page - man modprobe.d for recent module-init-tools, else man modprobe.conf. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
