If that doesn't work, you can always try adding something like the
following into your rc.local file:
insmod /lib/modules/2.2.9-27mdk/misc/uart401.o
insmod /lib/modules/2.2.9-27mdk/misc/sb.o io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5
I have to add these lines because my conf.modules file _refuses_ to load
the sound drivers in the correct order, so the rc.local file gets executed
and sticks this in for me...
It's a hack, but I'm too lazy to really mess with it since it works
anyway...
It sounds like /lib/modules/2.2.9-27mdk/modules.dep doesn't have correct
dependency information for the sb.o module. Try running depmod -c (I
think that's correct, check the depmod manpage) and then check the
resulting modules.dep. You should see uart401.o listed on the
right-hand side of the ':' for sb.o.

I have a DEC Celebris machine with a built-in ethernet card. I recently
installed a 3com 3C905 10/100 pci card and disabled the internal one.
I found the latest drivers for the card, installed it and everything
works perfect. Well, almost. The compile for the driver worked
flawlessly. I created the .o file, installed it into the kernel with
"insmod", restarted the networking and va-voom; networking works.
The problem is that each time I start the machine, I need to run
insmod and reload networking. bummer. so, my question is: how do I
make the driver change permanent?
Possably by editing /etc/conf.modules and deleting the old entry for
the old ethernet driver and crateing a new one for the 3com.
something like.
alias eth0 3c59x
Or whatever driver you use.
thanks in advance.
