If you put anything in /etc/modutils/, "update-modules" will insert them into /etc/modules.conf. This is not what you want.
What you may have to do is, call "insmod <module>" in the startup script for your device. Like alsasound in /etc/init.d/. Don't create any links to this from /etc/rc?.d/ directories. Run this file manuall whenever you want, to load the modules & start the drivers or daemons. | From: Yobb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | I think I have read all the relevant docs regarding setting | up my system to auto load modules but I am still somewhat unsure. | | I put the name of the module in /etc/modules if I want it | fired up on boot.
