Re: Loading drivers during power up?

Hi

I think you have to install your module in /lib/modules//kernel-version//net/
or /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net. This can be done by using

install -m 644 driver.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/net/

and you can add your 'insmod' command to

/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit or /etc/rc.d/rc.local


For a better understanding Refer http://www.scyld.com/expert/modules.html

Hi,

I am using RH 8.0.  Do I need to create a script file
in one of the rcX.d directories?  Can anyone else
suggest an alternative.

Under debian you can put the module name into
/etc/modules and it will be
loaded on startup, on gentoo that's
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4
or /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 depending on
your kernel series, ...
(RTFM of your distro.)
