When you run modprobe you're trying to load a kernel module into the running kernel. If you get the error you list above, modprobe cannot find the module you're listing. This usually means that you haven't compiled that particular driver into a module (or it hasn't been done for you). Your most direct path to fixing this is to recompile your kernel, selecting that particular driver as a module during configuration. I wrote an email earlier this week that had a brief overview of compiling a kernel. Take a look at the archives. You might also want to peruse www.tldp.org and/or your distro's documentation about compiling a kernel. Chad Martin ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get Bzzzy!
