[olug] modules.conf

Fri Aug 22 19:04:26 UTC 2003

The controller card is an interal card, with an external module.  The
controller is a Stallion EasyConnection 8/64 PCI.

Stallion only has drivers for <= 2.2 kernel.  They say to use the kernel
built in modules, stallion.o, for 2.4 kernels.

If I do a insmod stallion, they load just fine.  But I want to be able to
have the module load on bootup, i.e. modules.conf.  I've never put a module
in modules.conf by hand before.  If I've ever installed something that
required a module to be loaded, an install program put it in the
modules.conf, and I've never thought twice about it.

As far as using Equinox, this is a customer requirenment.  Our customers
use Digi, Equinox, Stallion, and Computone.

Is it a internal board or an externally connected network device?

Did it not come with or have available for download Linux install software?

Did the software not already install the required module?

Does the customer require stallion?

Is this being moved from a UNIX system?

I use Equinox for Linux, Windows, and UNIX.
