Now that you know the name of the module, you can create an options
line for it in modutils; then whenever the module is called for the
system will act as if these options had been given on the command line.
Usually it's *sound* that needs that, but anyways you can try
`````
options 3c59x (whatever options you can get to work at commadline)
'''''
Doublecheck the name of the module that loads; or if it bails and
removes itself, mess around on the commandline with modprobe or insmod
manually feeding it commandline options until you're happy with the
results. Then add a file like loccal-ether to /etc/modutils with your
options line, and re-run update-modules to recreate /etc/modules.conf
cleanly.
