I've got an older machine whose NIC uses the ne module. When I run |
2 |
generate-modprobe.conf, I get the following two lines (among others) in |
3 |
my modprobe.conf: |
4 |
|
5 |
alias ne off |
6 |
install eth0 /bin/true |
7 |
|
8 |
If I change the one line to: |
9 |
|
10 |
alias eth0 ne |
11 |
|
12 |
and add this line: |
13 |
|
14 |
options ne io=0x330 |
15 |
|
16 |
and remove the "install eth0 /bin/true" line, I can "modprobe ne" and |
17 |
it will load fine. My /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 file contains |
18 |
(among other lines) the following: |
19 |
|
20 |
ne |
21 |
options ne io=0x300 |
22 |
|
23 |
This is all gentoo 2005.0. I'm brand new to this, so could someone |
24 |
explain to me what is causing the original two lines in the |
25 |
modprobe.conf file, and what file I can edit (and how) to make the |
26 |
modules system do what I want? |
