I'm sorry if this is a newbie question, but I thought that no one on the
gnubies-il will be able to help me.
I'm trying to find out about the process of auto loading modules when needed,
I've just installed a minimal system, and couldn't find out how to make my NIC
module auto loaded when needed.
After running through some documents without any success, I checked the
/etc/modules.conf in my auto configured redhat system and saw that I need to
alias my NIC module as eth0.
I was in the same story with the sound card, and after finding nothing in the
documentation I looked in my redhat's /etc/modules.conf and saw that I need
to alias my sound card module as sound-slot-0 (Later I found a bit of
documentation about it in the kernel sound/Introduction).
After looking in kmod.c I saw that something else calls the request_module
function defined in kmod.c and gives it a module name.
I guess I can somehow trace the module name given to this function and then
know what alias to define.
But I'm assuming there is an easier way to find this out(documentation).
Can anyone help me?
