Alan, |
| 43 |
This is probably to much apples vs oranges to be of any real help: |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
1) Running gentoo-sources-2.6.36-r1 here |
| 46 |
2) Running baselayout1 so everything for me goes in modules.autoload.d |
| 47 |
3) Prior to this email wasn't loading vboxnetadp |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
I run a copy of M$ Windows Home Server in VBox to backup user data |
| 50 |
in my VMWare-Player XP/Win7 machines. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
I added vboxnetadp to modules.audioload.d/kernel_2.6 and it seems |
| 53 |
to load fine for me: |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
c2stable ~ # lsmod | grep vbox |
| 56 |
vboxnetadp 3942 0 |
| 57 |
vboxnetflt 11379 1 |
| 58 |
vboxdrv 1720608 3 vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt |
| 59 |
c2stable ~ # |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
I don't know what it does or how to test it but I'm not having any |
| 62 |
problems loading it. |
