When I used dpkg to install the new modutils package, it gave me the option of installing a new /etc/modules file. If you choose yes, it gives you a basic /etc/modules files just with comments. You'll need to put in a line for each module you want loaded.
For example, my /etc/modules looks like this: # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time 3c59x es1371 Thanks, Mike --- pplaw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Michael Madden wrote: > > > I'd written yesterday describing problems with > linux > > 2.4.0, Debian 2.2 R2, and NE2000/3C509 NICS. > Thanks > > for all the help! > > > > The working solution was to download and install > the > > new modutils package from: > > > http://people.debian.org/~wakkerma/modutils_2.4.1-0potato1_i386.deb > > > > Thanks, > > > > Michael > > > > // > > debs, > > modutils 2.4.1-0potato1 i386.deb broke my eth0 id > during boot and, thus, broke > the connection to my dsl pipe. i re-installed > modutils 2.3.11-13.1, but still > no eth0. > > 1. am i looking at a re-install of potato?
