Insert module at startup
Hi, I have a portable with a broadcom netcard, debian woody an the latest stable kernel configured (2.4.22), i also downloaded the drivers for my broadcom netcard and when i start it manually (with insmod), i can ping etc. So the card is okay. But how can i add the module so that it starts when the system boots, i find information about modutils, modules.conf, ... But all this is not so clear! Could someone *plz* explain me clairly how i have to do it ? Or a link or whatever ? And what dhcp client do i have to use ? Dhcpd ? Pump ? Dhclient ? Thnx!

Could someone *plz* explain me clairly how i have to do it ? Or a link or whatever ? Just add a line to /etc/modules. And what dhcp client do i have to use ? Dhcpd ? Pump ? Dhclient ? dhcp-client seems to work fine here (configured on initial installation of Debian 3.0). You need CONFIG_PACKET and CONFIG_FILTER in your kernel for it to work.

Okay, So when i add a line to /etc/modules, what do i have to add there ? And where do i have to describe the path ? The drivers name is something like bcm5700.o But how knows the /etc/modules where that file is ? (sorry, have no experience with modules).

Could someone *plz* explain me clairly how i have to do it ? Or a link or whatever ? I _really_ like modconf. I use it to add/configure modules into my system. Just run the command and read the directions. The hardest thing about it is knowing what group the driver your using falls under. In this case it should be kernel/drivers/net. And what dhcp client do i have to use ? Dhcpd ? Pump ? Dhclient ? Whatever one you want, as long as it works for your setup ;). I use the dhcp-client package without any issues. -- Jacob Trying out SquirrelMail -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Insert module at startup
I'd like to insmod the netatalk module at startup. I'd be grateful to know how to do this. alias net-pf-5 appletalk in /etc/modules.conf doesn't seem to be the debian way... Regards Rory

RCL alias net-pf-5 appletalk in /etc/modules.conf doesn't seem to RCL be the debian way... That line doesn't explicitly cause the appletalk module to be loaded, it just tells the kernel that if it happens to need packet family 5, then it should load the 'appletalk' module. Note that The Debian Way (TM) of adding things to the /etc/modules.conf file is to create/modify a file under /etc/modutils with your customizations, and then run /sbin/update-modules; this will create a new /etc/modules.conf for you. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ Theoretical politics is interesting.
