Items in /etc/modules in LRP are used as options to /sbin/insmod, so
probably not.
>From my readings, /etc/conf.modules in the typical Linux distribution is
used to control modprobe and depmod, and thus is likely irrelevant to
your LEAF configuration (since it does not have modprobe or depmod).
Also, the LEAF kernel will not use modprobe to install modules, best I
can tell.
Thus, just making sure you load the appropriate modules before hand
should be enough, since the kernel won't load them on the fly. If you
get missing module errors, it means YOU didn't load the modules ;-) To
fix it Right Now, just insmod the right modules; to fix it the Right Way
add the modules to /etc/modules so the modules load on boot.
If I understand correctly, the kernel would "look for" a module
"ppp-compress-18" and then modprobe would load the module ppp_mppe;
these aliases you need to keep in mind yourself so you know what they
mean.
You might do something like this, too:
cd /lib/modules
ln -s ppp_mppe ppp-compress-18
ln -s bsd_comp ppp-compress-21
ln -s ppp_deflate ppp-compress-24
ln -s ppp_deflate ppp-compress-26
Then save modules.lrp. This would allow you to actually USE those
aliases, like so:
insmod ppp-compress-24
...and to add them to /etc/modules:
ppp-compress-24
ppp-compress-21
ppp-compress-18
Comments?
