Yes, just like someone would say 'I am trying to compile a program with
gcc'...
The name of the module is not relevant in my case, so I only listed the
command and the parameter.
Anyway. 'insmod -f' should NEVER give 'insmod: -f.ko: no module by that
name found' as error. Without the module listed, it should give
something like 'Usage: insmod [options] filename'.
But we're diverting here... Am I the only one who has this problem with
insmod?
Regards,
Evert
