If it's like Debian's modules.conf (ie, it's the antique pre-renaming file), then I believe it can also load modules on boot. Of course, if you want the module there all the time, why bother compiling it as a module? -- MJR

What file does redhat use to load kernel modules on bootup? I couldn't find one in a sensible place with a sensible name. Thanks D __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Auctions - buy the things you want at great prices http://auctions.yahoo.com/

LinkSYS ethernet card under Linux
by Ashley T. Howes 30 Apr '01

30 Apr '01

I'm trying to get a LinkSYS PCI ethernet card (EtherFast 10/100 Lan Card) working in Linux. According to the instructions it use the tulip driver. I have assigned the tulip driver to the ethernet card, but when the tulip kernel module tries to startup it fails with "Device or resource busy". The machine with this card in is running Mandrake 7.0. Any hints, suggestions to get this ethernet card working? Ashley -- Dr Ashley T.

We've tested ircu, dalnet, cyclone and unreal, but I have to agree with Brett's recommendation. Unreal is almost certainly only popular because it allows opers to play evil tricks on users. -- MJR

We used to have a meeting on the third Sunday of every month alternating between Syleham and UEA but all things ALUG tend to slip into the background when people are busy. I'm quite happy to host a meeting @ Syleham every other month again and maybe we can fill the gaps in with meets @ UEA/wherever. Comments? See you all tomorrow. Cheers, BJ
