Does anyone else have this dependency problem? I did experience it sometimes
but cannot track it down to find the cause. A simple depmod -a helps, but
where does it come from? If you have that problem again, could you please
send me the modules.dep file?
Also there shouldn't be any need to adjust /etc/conf.modules except for
local adjustments, i.e. I add 'alias eth0 3c509'. If you need some more
aliases please mail them to me so I can include them in the next release.
