It's modprobe called by the kernel. You must have something like: alias eth1 ipw2200 In modprobe configuration (usually on RH/Fedora kudzu create these entries on boot as a result of hardware detection). You can verify it (I just did with my Fedora-6) by commenting out this statement. Make sure you got what you want by: modeprobe -c | grep ipw2200 # dump configuration The one thing that still puzzle me is: what mechanism in the kernel triggered invocation of modprobe in this case (the hardware was not hotplugged). If kudzu keep inserting this statement each boot, you have three options: 1. Disable kudzu altogether: chkconfig kudzu off 2. Blacklist ipw2200 from automatic modprobe loading. Put the line: blacklist ipw2200 into a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ 3. Ditto, but putting: alias ipw2200 off into /etc/modprobe.conf or a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ (this alias was the 'blacklist' mechanism in old modprobe in before kernel 2.6, but it's still supported AFAIK. I don't know why this syntax was changed to 'blacklist' and if it's deprecated or not).

However, my riddle is still alive since nothing has touched /etc/modprobe.conf since Feb 3rd. And this current nonsense started only yesterday. It seems that something decided to access my /dev/eth1 without my request.

ipw2200 reloads automatically
What have I done? I have here FC4 on my laptop, and I had its wifi nicely installed - up untill yesterday. Now, even when I want to take it down with rmmod ipw2200 and take its network interface down, something reloads it again (and take the interface up with it, dhclient included). /var/log/acpid and /var/log/message did not prove to be too useful. Anyone here has an idea what loads the module back? -- Dan Kenigsberghttp://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~dankenICQ 162180901 = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
