loading eth0 automaticly through modules.conf

[Micha Feigin <michf@math.tau.ac.il>]

I tried adding the line
alias eth0 8139too
to /etc/modules.conf as sugested in the documentation under
kernel-src/Documentation/modules.txt
but it didn't seem to do anything.
running "ifconfig eth0 up" or "ifconifg eth0 192.168.0.1" returned
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Is this supposed to work or is it a bug in the documentation.
Also, the file still instructs running kerneld which according to the
decription of the kernel module loader (KMOD) in the kernel
configuration isn't used anymore. Is this a documentation bug, and if
so, where do I file it?

I am using kernel 2.6.0-test1

thanx
