Certainly, tomsrtbt does not include modprobe or auto module loading, it uses only insmod to load modules.

Well... start with the LDP and the HOWTO files... there is a link from my site... > Thank you in advance for your help. such as it is. I don't feel I'm much help. So far, I'm happy with the 2.0 + insmod paradigm, and I try to resist new stuff just because it is new... Please do let me know how it works and how to fix it when you get it down! -Tom
